STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency of Turbine = (Hydroelectric Power*550)/(Discharge from Dam*Effective Head*Unit Weight of Water)
η = (P*550)/(Q_t*H*γ_w)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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.
Effective Head - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Head can be described as the actual vertical drop minus this head loss.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the ratio of total weight to the total volume of water.

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
Effective Head: 232.2 Meter --> 232.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = (P*550)/(Q_t*H*γ_w) --> (170*550)/(0.46*232.2*9.81)

Evaluating ... ...

η = 89.2323963950799

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

89.2323963950799 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

89.2323963950799 ≈ 89.2324 <-- Efficiency of Turbine
