1.A river flowing steadily at a rate of 240 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can be built to collect water and release it from an elevation difference of 50 m to generate power. Determine how much power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled

the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Explanation:

Given that;

Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s

Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m

Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?

Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,

hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.

= m(gh)

first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m

m = p×v

where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³

so we substitute

m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s

m = 240000 kg/s

so we plug in our values into ( = m(gh) kJ/kg )

= 240000 × 9.8 × 50

= 117600000 W

= 117.6 MW

Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Independent variable: the best method to get rid of them.

Dependent variable: washing with soap and water.

Hypothesis: Organic oils

Control group: water

The question specifies the diameter of the screw, therefore the IMA of this screw is 0.812? / 0.318 = 8.02
