1 Penstock loss in PS 2

HL n2 x v2 x L / R4/3
where,
n = 0.011
Design discharge = 70.00 cumecs
Dia of penstock = 3.75 m
c/s Area of penstock = 11.04 m2
v velocity in penstock = 6.34 m/s
Change in length of penstock = -0.12 m
R A/P = 0.94
Therefore,
Head loss in penstock = -0.0006 m

2 Bend losses in penstock 2

No. of bends = 4
Bend angle = 176.5 degrees

HL Kb v2 / 2g

where,
Kb = 0.002
Design discharge = 70.00 cumecs
D dia = 3.75 m
c/s Area of penstock = 11.04 m2
v velocity in penstock = 6.34 m/s
Therefore,
head loss for 1 bend of penstock = 0.0041 m
Head loss for 4 nos. bends = 0.0164 m

1 Penstock loss in PS 1

HL n2 x v2 x L / R4/3
where,
n = 0.011
Design discharge = 70.00 cumecs
Dia of penstock = 3.75 m
c/s Area of penstock = 11.04 m2
v velocity in penstock = 6.34 m/s
Change in length of penstock = 0.66 m
R A/P = 0.94
Therefore,
Head loss in penstock = 0.0035 m

2 Bend losses in penstock PS 1

No. of bends = 2
Bend angle = 176.5 degrees

HL Kb v2 / 2g

where,
 Kb = 0.002
Design discharge = 70.00 cumecs
D dia = 3.75 m
c/s Area of penstock = 11.04 m2
v velocity in penstock = 6.34 m/s
Therefore,
head loss for 1 bend of penstock = 0.0041 m
Head loss for 4 nos. bends = 0.0082 m

Hence, Total Maximum Loss = 0.0158 m
