Question

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an aver- age velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500m3/s500 m^3/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.

A river is flowing toward a lake with an average velocity (v=3v=3 m/s) at rate of (V˙=500 m3/\dot V=500\text{ m}^3/s). The elevation difference between the lake and the river is about 9090 m.

It's required to determine the total energy of water per unit mass and total power generated.
