Penstock Design

The document discusses the design of a penstock for a 16 MW hydro power plant in Taft, Eastern Samar. It provides data on penstock length, design discharge, head, and computes the optimum diameter for a single penstock and three-line penstock using Manning's formula and formulas from a hydraulic book.
