Calculate the mass averaged velocity through the pipe


A dam in western North Carolina takes a 30 m3 /s flow of water from the Nantahala river and diverts it to a turbine through a 2 m diameter pipe. The elevation drop from the inlet to the exit is 300m. Calculate the mass averaged velocity through the pipe, and estimate the power output of the turbine,assuming negligible changes in KE and temperature of the flow.
