Shaft Power P3=11772 kw

Head H=380m

N=750 rpm

overall efficiency, h0=0.86

i) Wheel diameter,D;

Velocity of jet V1=C×2gH

=0.9852×9.81×380

=85.05m\s

ku=uV1=0.45

Wheel velocity u=0.5×85.05

=38.273 m/s

4=πDN60

38.273=π×D×15060

D=0.975 m

ii) Diameter of jet d

Discharge jet q=Qh=44=1m3/s

q=Area of jet×V1
