A small-scale hydraulic power system is shown. The elevation difference between the reservoir water surface and the pond water surface downstream of the reservoir, H, is 24 m. The velocity of the water exhausting into the pond is 7 m/s, and the discharge through the system is 4 m³/s. The head loss due to friction in the penstock (inlet pipe to turbine, under very high pressure) is negligible. Find the power produced by the turbine in kilowatts.
