Head of turbine given specific speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Effective Head of Turbine = ((Speed of Turbine*sqrt(Power Output of Turbine))/Specific Speed of Turbine)^(4/5)
Heff = ((N*sqrt(P))/Ns)^(4/5)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables
Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Effective Head of Turbine - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Head of Turbine is the net or the effective head of the turbine. It is the height difference between where the water enters the hydro system and where it leaves it.
Speed of Turbine - (Measured in Revolution per Minute) - Speed of Turbine is the angular velocity of the rotation of the turbine.
Power Output of Turbine - (Measured in Kilowatt) - The Power Output of Turbine is the amount of energy transferred in unit time by the turbine.
Specific Speed of Turbine - (Measured in Revolution per Minute) - Specific Speed of Turbine is the speed which produces 1KW of power under 1m head.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Speed of Turbine: 200 Revolution per Minute --> 200 Revolution per Minute No Conversion Required
Power Output of Turbine: 1986.5 Kilowatt --> 1986.5 Kilowatt No Conversion Required
Specific Speed of Turbine: 159.4 Revolution per Minute --> 159.4 Revolution per Minute No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Heff = ((N*sqrt(P))/Ns)^(4/5) --> ((200*sqrt(1986.5))/159.4)^(4/5)
Evaluating ... ...
Heff = 25.0074132335834
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
25.0074132335834 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
25.0074132335834 25.00741 Meter <-- Effective Head of Turbine
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
