Flow Rate given Power in Kilowatt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

Hydroelectric Power: 170 Watt --> 170 Watt No Conversion Required
Efficiency of Turbine: 14 --> No Conversion Required
Effective Head: 232.2 Meter --> 232.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_t = (P*11.8)/(η*H) --> (170*11.8)/(14*232.2)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_t = 0.617078872892826

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.617078872892826 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.617078872892826 ≈ 0.617079 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge from Dam
