What is difference between penstock and pressure shaft?
A penstock is a pipe that carries water from the reservoir to the turbine in a hydroelectric power plant, while a pressure shaft is a vertical pipe that carries water under pressure from the penstock to the turbines. The penstock is typically horizontal and submerged in water, while the pressure shaft is vertical and carries water at high pressure.
What is a giant tube in a hydropower plant?
A giant tube in a hydropower plant is typically known as a penstock. It is a large pipe or conduit that carries water from the reservoir to the turbines, where the potential energy of the water is converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity. The size of a penstock can vary depending on the capacity and design of the hydropower plant.
What is a composite function?
This is a combination of two functions, where you apply the first function and get a result and then fill that answer into the second function. OR These are what you get when you take the output of one function and use it to solve the output of the next function.

What is function of penstock?
A penstock is a conduit or pipe that delivers water from a reservoir to a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant. Its primary function is to control and regulate the flow of water, thereby maximizing the efficiency of energy generation. Penstocks are designed to withstand high pressure and are often equipped with valves to manage water flow effectively. By funneling water with precision, penstocks play a crucial role in converting hydraulic energy into electrical energy.

Where surge shaft is located?
its connected at the start of penstock to reduce the "water hammering effect" in it.
How many penstocks supply water to the turbines?
ONLY 1 PENSTOCK that's all
Why forebay is used in hydroelectri power plant?
Head race tunnel are Non pressurized tunnels and Penstock is the tunnel bearing pressure. As there is the breakdown in the Power and the water is stopped entering through the turbines, the pressurized flow of water in the penstock creates hammer effect and goes back to the HRT. So, keeping Fore bay in between HRT and Penstock helps reducing pressurized water to create Water Hammers. Hence, to reduce the back water pressure effect, the Fore bay is used in the Hydro power Plant.
What is the difference between Headrace tunnel and Penstock in hydropower plants?
Pen stock is made of pipe while Tunnel is not a pipe.Tunnel is made of concrete material.
How do you calculate wall thickness of pen-stock pipe?
A penstock, with an internal diameter of 1.3 m, supplies water at a head equivalent to 127.6 kg/cm2. There is a possibility of 23per cent increase in the pressure due to transient conditions. The design stress and the efficiency of the joint may be assumed to be 1023 kg/cm2 and 35 per cent respectively.Calculate the approximate wall thickness of the penstock required
Why the type of energy stored in water at the reservoir is different from the energy stored in water at the penstock and turbine hydrppower?
The energy stored in water at the reservoir is gravitational potential energy due to its height above the turbine. As the water flows through the penstock and turbine, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and then ultimately into mechanical energy to turn the turbine and generate electricity. So, the type of energy changes as the water moves through the components of a hydropower system.
How is hydroelectric form?
Well, how was hydroelectricity formed. First of all people built dams in order to make a reservoir ( man made lake). All the water from the reservoir would then go down the penstock ( a water tube). The penstock would then lead into the turbine ( fan with spinning blades ) . Water would then strike the blade and cause the blade to rotate. The rotating motion would then cause electricity. The generator would guide the turbine through the way. The electricity would then get sent through the power lines.
