Penstock Penstock pipe is used to bring water from the dam to the hydraulic turbine. Penstock pipes are made up of steel or reinforced concrete. The turbine is installed at a lower level from the dam. The penstock is provided with a gate valve at the inlet to completely close the water supply. It has a control valve to control the water flow rate into the turbine.
Constantin‘, also known as ‘Eureka wire‘, is the trade-name for a copper-nickel alloy (approx. 60:40 ratio) formulated in the late 1800s by Edward Weston.
The resistance R3 & R4 are connected in series = (30 + 70) = 100Ω Now three resistor i.e 100Ω, 100Ω & 50Ω is connected in parallel 1/Rp = 1/100 + 1/100 + 1/50 Rp = 100/4 = 25 Ω Resistance 50Ω and 25Ω are connected in series. Rtotal = (50 + 25)Ω Rtotal = 75Ω
