I am new to the forum and very happy to join you.
voila, i would like to have (for the moment
) 2 pieces of information and I hope that I will be understood in my request.
1 / when we talk about water height (I think I understand that it is essential in hydroelectricity), how to measure it, I explain myself: if I am in the mountains, my stream starts at 1000 md altitude, I am located 650 md altitude and I collect by a pipe 50 m above my house, my water height (or drop) for my calculations will be 50m or 350m? (I have read elsewhere that there was a problem with all the obstacles that the water could meet in its passage and the turns that the stream could take during its descent)?
2 / this concerns the flow: if I have a stream with a flow of 7l / s,
it means that if at a precise place I manage to collect ALL the water from the stream I will have 70l in 10 s etc .....
my concern comes now, if i install the turbine at a place of the stream, all the water does not make the turbine turn (since all the water is not collected to come against the turbine
) ????
if my resonance is good how to measure the flow of water which is used for my turbine?
I am aware of not having been very clear but I hope that someone will be able to answer me. thank you
