How Hydropower Works. Hydropower is using water to power machinery or make electricity. Water constantly moves through a vast global cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans, forming clouds, precipitating as rain or snow, then flowing back down to the ocean.urbines and generators convert the energy into electricity, which is then fed into the electrical grid to be used in homes, businesses, and by industry. To see a close up view of how the generator of a water turbine works, see the Hydropower Basics page.
Regards, ... Â·. Dear Sanjay, The wear rate is calculated as the specific wear rate (Wsp), which is given as follows, Wsp=V/LD mm3/N-m. where V, L and D are the total wear volume, normal load and the total sliding distance, respectively. ...
Wear of Materials. Wear is a complex process that occurs when two surfaces are slid against one another, resulting in gradual removal of one or both materials. The simple fact of wear is that it appears unavoidable, altering performance of mechanical and biological systems and ultimately resulting in system failure.
