Head given Amount of Hydropower Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head of Water = (Amount of Hydropower/(9.81*Rate of Flow*Efficiency of Hydropower))+Head Loss due to Friction
H_Water = (P/(9.81*q_flow*η))+h_location
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Head of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Head of Water is defined as the height of water columns.
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.
Efficiency of Hydropower - Efficiency of Hydropower is the ratio of useful energy output generated from water flow compared to the input energy.
Head Loss due to Friction - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss due to Friction occurs due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the pipe or duct.

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
Efficiency of Hydropower: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Head Loss due to Friction: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_Water = (P/(9.81*q_flow*η))+h_location --> (770/(9.81*32*0.8))+1.5

Evaluating ... ...

H_Water = 4.56606778797146

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.56606778797146 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.56606778797146 ≈ 4.566068 Meter <-- Head of Water
