The Elements

“It all depends on the head”

Head (H) H

Units - Head

1m = 3.2808 ft = 0.981 bar ( 10m  1bar ) 1m = 0.5468 fathoms = 0.0497 chains

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Units - Flow

1m3/s = 1 cubic metre of water travelling at 1m/s = 1 CUMEC = 35.315 CUSECS (ft3/s) = 1000 litres/s = 86.40 MLD = 19.03 MGD = 13215 Gallons/min

Units - Power

1 milliWatt mW = 1/1000 of a Watt 1 Watt W 1 kiloWatt kW = 1 thousand Watts 1 MegaWatt MW = 1 million Watts = enough for 1000 - 1500 homes.

Power Equation

  • Quick Method & Head Comparison

QUICK WAY….

 Ne = k.H.Q

where k = 7.0 Consider, for Medium Head :

Head = 100m Flow = 1m³/s

Ne = 7.100.1 = 700 kW

for Low Head :

Head - 10m Flow = 10m³/s

Ne = 7.10.10 = 700 kW
