Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate
Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 590 m3/s at a location 90 m above the lake surface. Determine the total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass and the power generation potential of the entire river at that location. We take the density of water to be rho = 1000 kg/m3. The total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass is kJ/kg. The power generation potential of the entire river at that location is kW.
First we need to determine the energy per unit mass
So
Now the power generation potential is:
