Question:
During a camping trip you notice that water is discharged from a high reservoir to a stream in the valley through a 30-cm-diameter plastic pipe. The elevation difference between the free surface of the reservoir and the stream is 70 m. You conceive the idea of generating power from this water. Design a power plant that will produce the most power from this resource. Also, investigate the effect of power generation on the discharge rate of water. What discharge rate maximizes the power production?
