Hi Todd - one excellent source of basic info and formulas to evaluate a
micro site can be found at Joe Cole's web site - he has worked hard at
research and his info is good.

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Hi List,
<P>I am needing some information on sizing a hydro installation. Generally
one
<BR>knows the available flow in GPM, but this situation is a bit different.
The
<BR>customer has water rights off a ditch to "take up to a 2" pipe's worth
of
<BR>water". Running 675' of 2" PVC, he will have 60' of head.
<P>I need to know what kind of maximum flow will run through a 2" pipe.
I can't
<BR>seem to find any charts listing this. Once I know that, I can figure
friction
<BR>loss and estimate the net pressure available at the generator site.
<P>Also is there an easy to figure estimated output in watts knowing net
head and
<BR>flow? I need to size the Harris and delivery wire.
<P>Thanks in advance.
<P>Todd
