Question:

Water in a dam on a 75-ft-deep river is passed through a turbine to produce energy. The outlet of the turbine is 15 ft above the river bed. The mass flowrate of water is 65,000 lb/s, and the inside diameter of the discharge pipe is 10 ft. Discharge is to the atmosphere, and frictional losses may be neglected. For a 55% efficient turbine, calculate the power produced.
