This problem is useful for the preliminary design of a hydroturbine. From the material learned in this chapter, it is fairly simple to estimate how much power a hydroturbine can generate, given only the flow rate of water and the elevation difference upstream and downstream of the dam. A dam has a gross head of 15.5 m and a flow rate of 0.22 m3 /s. Approximating the overall efficiency of the turbine/generator to be 75%, estimate the electrical power (in kW) that couldbe produced.
