A small river is to be dammed to create a hydroelectric power plant. After the completion of the dam the river level will rise by 28 m. The river has a cross- sectional area 340 m² and the average water velocity is 0.6 m/s. If the com- bined turbine-generator efficiency of the power plant is 0.75, what is the power this river may produce?arrow_forward- is a device which converts fluid power to linear or rotary mechanical power.
