Describe the selection criteria of hydraulic turbines for hydroelectric power plants.
A hydropower plant was designed for $150\ \text{m}^{3}/\text{s}$ under the head of $46\ \text{m}$. If the speed of the turbine is to be $165\ \text{rpm}$ and overall efficiency is 86.5%, determine the number of units required and output of each unit, if the propeller turbine of specific speed 234 is selected.
