		<description><![CDATA[Hydropower penstocks or hydro system pipelines require attention to design regarding fluid flow and head loss. In this short review I'm letting you in on my secret, I use PipeFlow-Expert® by Daxesoft to make these initial penstock performance and energy loss design estimates.  It is a cycle of trial &#38; re-trial to find the sweet spot for a hydro site. A design spot  between power ROI and the sites infrastructure costs. These hydro capital costs include; electric switchgear, turbine and penstock costs, etc.  Hint - the penstock and associated hardware are often one of the most expensive components in a hydro system. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Choosing Smaller or larger propeller or water wheels is not the issue. Fluid flow over the hydro generator propulsion device gives rise to rotational motion. Rotor specific speed is the issue you refer to and different designs have higher or lower specific speeds due to the physics involved with that wheels geometry.]]></description>
