1. A hydroelectric power plant has the hydraulic turbine located 60 m below the elevation of the intake pipe. The 1-m diameter pipe delivers water with a velocity of 3 m/s at a temperature of 15 °C to the turbine. The heat transfer between the turbine and the surroundings is negligible. Determine the power developed in kW.
