Marks: +1, -0

A canal was designed for a full supply discharge of 60 cumec. The average supply discharge in the canal is 40 cumec. The capacity factor of the canal is:

6.0
0.67
0.45
4.00

Validate

Solution:

Concept:Capacity Factor: a) The capacity factor of a canal is the duty based on the discharge at the canal headworks.
b) The capacity factor is defined as the ratio of mean supply discharge in a canal during a period to its design full capacity.
Capacity Factor of the canal

={{ \Average \supply \discharge }}/{{ \Full \supply \discharge }}

Calculation:
Given Data:
Full supply discharge = 60 cumec
Average supply discharge = 40 cumec
Capacity Factor of the canal

={{ \Average \supply \discharge }}/{{ \Full \supply \discharge }}

Capacity Factor of the canal

= 40/60

Capacity Factor of the canal = 0.666
Capacity Factor of the canal = 0.67
