Head Loss given Amount of Hydropower Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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 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
Efficiency of Hydropower: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Head of Water: 2.3 Meter --> 2.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_location = ((P/(9.81*q_flow*η))-H_Water) --> ((770/(9.81*32*0.8))-2.3)

Evaluating ... ...

h_location = 0.766067787971457

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.766067787971457 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.766067787971457 ≈ 0.766068 Meter <-- Head Loss due to Friction
