When highly
calcinated water is transferred through the penstock of a hydropower plant it
leaves a residue on the pipe surface. Accumulated residue over time causes a
change in the roughness of the pipe surface thus friction losses in the
system. The effect is a change in head
and discharge relation for the turbines. A multimethodology is proposed for
determining the apparent surface roughness value (ε) by means of friction factor
f and measuring arithmetic mean deviation of the roughness profile (Ra), root
mean square roughness (Rq) and peak and valley roughness (Rz). It is found that a surface roughness value
(ε) of 0.3mm can be used for calcinated surfaces which is much higher than
steel surfaces but smaller than concrete.
