Effective Head for Power obtained from Water Flow in Horsepower Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Effective Head = (Hydroelectric Power*8.8)/(Discharge from Dam*Efficiency of Turbine)
H = (P*8.8)/(Q_t*η)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Effective Head - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Head can be described as the actual vertical drop minus this head loss.
Hydroelectric Power - (Measured in Watt) - Hydroelectric Power is electricity generated by the flow of water through turbines, harnessing the energy of falling or flowing water.
Discharge from Dam - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge from Dam is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Efficiency of Turbine - The Efficiency of Turbine refers to the ability of a turbine to convert input energy into useful output power with minimal losses.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hydroelectric Power: 170 Watt --> 170 Watt No Conversion Required
Discharge from Dam: 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Efficiency of Turbine: 14 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (P*8.8)/(Q_t*η) --> (170*8.8)/(0.46*14)

Evaluating ... ...

H = 232.298136645963

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

232.298136645963 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

232.298136645963 ≈ 232.2981 Meter <-- Effective Head
