A river flows into a hydroelectric power plant with a velocity v1= 1.15 m/s and emerges from it with a final velocity v2=0.11 m/s. If water flows through the plant at a rate=3.22 m3/s and has a head of h=10.35 m.
- Calculate the water mass flow rate through the plant (in Kg/s).
- Calculate the rate of change in the gravitational potential energy through the plant (in kW).
- Calculate the rate of change of the kinetic energy through the plant (in kW).
- Calculate the theoretical rate of production of energy from this hydroelectric plant
