This document summarizes the design of a 10KW hydro power plant in Pakistan. It includes selecting an appropriate turbine based on the effective head of 10m and delivery pipe diameter of 0.5m. The nozzle diameter is calculated as 13.5cm based on the required flow rate of 0.2 cubic meters per second. Total head and losses are also considered. The structural design and suitable gear ratio are determined. In conclusion, accounting for losses is important in design, assumptions simplify the design, hydro power is non-polluting, and can help address Pakistan's energy issues.

Problem Statement
Design a power plant who provides 10KW of
output power
Assumptions
Effective Head = 10m
Delivery Pipe Dia = 0.5 m
Gen RPM = 1800
Delivery Pipe Material = Steel
ŋt = ŋgen = ŋrotor – gen = 80 %

7. 
Q = 0.2 m3/s
Av = Q = 0.2 m3/s
D = 13.5 cm = 5.3 in
This is the diameter of the nozzle
Note: Water Velocity will be different in delivery pipe
because it is 0.5 m wide.
