Efficiency of Hydropower Station given Amount of Hydropower Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency of Hydropower = Amount of Hydropower/(9.81*Rate of Flow*(Head loss-Head of Water))
η = P/(9.81*q_flow*(H_l-H_Water))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Efficiency of Hydropower - Efficiency of Hydropower is the ratio of useful energy output generated from water flow compared to the input energy.
Amount of Hydropower - (Measured in Watt) - Amount of Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that uses the water stored in dams, as well as flowing in rivers to create electricity in hydropower plants.
Rate of Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Head loss - (Measured in Meter) - Head loss refers to the total pressure losses sustained by the fluid as it flows from the suction point to the discharge point.
Head of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Head of Water is defined as the height of water columns.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Amount of Hydropower: 0.77 Kilowatt --> 770 Watt (Check conversion here)
Rate of Flow: 32 Cubic Meter per Second --> 32 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Head loss: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Head of Water: 2.3 Meter --> 2.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = P/(9.81*q_flow*(H_l-H_Water)) --> 770/(9.81*32*(5-2.3))

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.908464529769321

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.908464529769321 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.908464529769321 ≈ 0.908465 <-- Efficiency of Hydropower
