Head given Amount of Hydropower Formula Elements

Variables
Head of Water
Head of Water is defined as the height of water columns.
Symbol: HWater
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Amount of Hydropower
Amount of Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that uses the water stored in dams, as well as flowing in rivers to create electricity in hydropower plants.
Symbol: P
Measurement: PowerUnit: kW
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Rate of Flow
Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Symbol: qflow
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Efficiency of Hydropower
Efficiency of Hydropower is the ratio of useful energy output generated from water flow compared to the input energy.
Symbol: η
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Head Loss due to Friction
The Head Loss due to Friction occurs due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the pipe or duct.
