Question
Water at 60°F flows from a lake through 500 ft of 4-in ID cast iron
pipe at a water turbine 250 ft below the surface of the lake. After
flowing through the turbine, the water is discharged into the
atmosphere through a horizontal 50 ft section of the same pipe. The
turbine power output is 10 hp when the water in the discharge pipe is
flowing at 5 ft/s. If the turbine were by passed, what would be the
mass flowrate of water through the 500 ft of 4in pipe.
