A discharge of 2.8 m3
/s flows through a hydraulic turbine. On the 1 m inlet pipe at elevation
43.5 m, a pressure gage reads 345 kPa. On the 1.5 m discharge pipe at elevation 39, a
vacuum gage reads 150 mm of mercury. If the total head lost through pipes and turbines
between elevation 43.5 and 39 is 9 m, what power may be expected from the machine?
