Design of Power Pipe

The document summarizes the design of a steel pipe for a water conductor system for a 5 MW hydropower project. It lists the design discharge as 2.2 cubic meters per second plus 20% excess, totaling 2.64 cubic meters per second. Using references on hydraulic structures and open channel design, a trial and error method determined the optimal pipe diameter is 1350 mm to pass the design discharge at a slope of 1:300, with a flow velocity of 2.51 meters per second.
