Question 3 b) A Hydroelectric powerplant has effective head of 120 meter with four sets of turbine and generators. As the plants running continuously, the effectiveness of turbine, drive and generators is reduced to 85%, 95% and 93% respectively. Given the gravitational acceleration = 9.8ms2, air density = 1.2 kgm-³, maximum flow rates are 1.3 m³s² and the head loses is 10%, determine the possible power generated. [6 marks]
