SOLUTION
DATA GIVEN
Total head HG = 180m
Reservoir capacity = 70 MW
Efficiency (ήT) = 99%
Initial water level in the reservoir = 265 masl
Minimum operational water level = 255 masl
Density of water δw = 1000 kg/m3
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2
i. Required the design discharge Q
From the power equation
P= ήT* Q* H*g* δw
Make Q the subject, then
Q = P ÷ ( H∗g∗δ w∗ή )
Q= 70* 106 W ÷ (0.99*180m*9.81 m/s2*1000 kg/m3)
Q= 40.04 m3/s

Therefore, the design discharge is 40.04 m3/s
