Osmena Plant Surge Tank Deiign

This document details the design of a surge tank for the Osmena Mini Hydro Power Plant located in Gov. Generoso, Davao Oriental, Philippines. Calculations are shown to determine key specifications of the surge tank, including a total height of 12.68 meters and minimum cross-sectional area of 7.07 square meters. Based on a pressure of 124.36 megapascals, the required wall thickness is calculated as 8.00 millimeters. The surge tank specifications are then listed, including a height of 12.68 meters, diameter of 2.50 meters, and wall thickness of 8.00 millimeters.
