Power obtained from Water Flow in Kilowatt given Effective Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydroelectric Power = (Efficiency of Turbine*Discharge from Dam*Effective Head)/11.8
P = (η*Q_t*H)/11.8
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Efficiency of Turbine: 14 --> 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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = (η*Q_t*H)/11.8 --> (14*0.46*232.2)/11.8

Evaluating ... ...

P = 126.726101694915

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

126.726101694915 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

126.726101694915 ≈ 126.7261 Watt <-- Hydroelectric Power
