Revision of introduction (macro level down to specific)
Mention “Binaytuan Falls” on Introduction
What is the target capacity?
What is the theoretical value of efficiency?
Change “Design and Development” to “Design and Simulation” on objectives
Provide a waterfalls flow characteristic
Provide additional literature to support the study if directly proportional and inversely

proportional
Provide a supporting study about the behavior of mesh relation
Provide basis on choosing the best mesh level
Provide matrix of every design options (varying nozzle flow rate, angle, pipe design

option)
Identify common parameters with the study of MM Alnakhlani, to validate the output

Correct the generator efficiency on generator specification table
Reference and basis of positioning of nozzles
Justify how to pick meshing level
Answer the objectives
Try to use smaller pipe size in the beginning of pipe for circular var up to largest instead

of largest to smallest pipe size

Provide basis or reference of branched pipe arrangements
Main difference of the study to other existing study
Provide theoretical calculations
Try to use higher or lower than 4 and 5 mesh
Provide data in table form for each nozzle
Fix the error on legend of the graph in Figure 41
Try to answer all objectives (objective 1 - finding 1). Answer them one by one.
