    Sujeet Kumar
    This document discusses the calculation of discharge from a penstock head valve under burst pipe conditions. It presents graphs showing the relationship between pressure and flow over time in such an event. It also includes a bar graph comparing the total cost of valves for a hydroelectric plant if the flow is bid at 48 cubic meters per second versus 39 cubic meters per second.
