The generating capacity of a hydroelectric plant is represented using equation

The generating capacity of a hydroelectric plant is represented using equation:

1. P = 9.8 * ηQH
2. P = 9.8 * ηQ/H
3. P = 32.58 * ηQH
4. P = 32.58 * ηQ/H

Correct answer: 1. P = 9.8 η QH

Explanation

P = power (kilowatts)

η = plant efficiency

Q = discharge flow rate (m^3/s)

H = head (m)
