Hydraulic Design of Penstock Pipes

The document presents results from calculations to design a penstock pipe. It includes input parameters like discharge, head, length, pipe diameter and output parameters calculated through iteration like velocity, Reynolds number, frictional factor, head loss percentage, diameter and thickness results. The minimum pipe thickness that meets the design requirements with corrosion allowance is determined to be 14 mm.
