Hydraulic Design of Penstock Pipes

The document contains the results of calculations to design a penstock pipe. It includes input parameters like discharge, head, length, surface roughness and material properties. The output section contains the calculated pipe diameter of 1462 mm, velocity of 5 m/s, Reynolds number, frictional factor and head loss of 2.69 m or 1.82%. Additional outputs include wave velocity, critical closure time, surge head and thickness calculations to ensure the pipe meets stress requirements with corrosion allowance.
