The height of water in Hoover Dam is 222 m when Lake Mead is full. For a nominal flow-rate of 1060 m3/s the water comes out the bottom at 13 m/s. What is the power in GW? For this problem, ignore the energy lost through friction. Make sure you use the correct sign for the change in height.
In reality, the dam’s thermal efficiency is about 90 %, which means about 10% of the power is lost to friction. In all types of power generation plants, there are additional energy losses that occur later in the electric generator and in the power lines.
* The answer is not 2.077 GW!!!

1. The Davis Dam was constructed 67 miles downstream from the Hoover Dam. The reservoir formed by the dam is called Lake Mohave. The reservoir has a total storage capacity of 1,818,300 acre-feet. Given the average head of the reservoir is 136 feet, determine the potential energy of the water in the reservoir. 2. When the effective head of water behind the Davis Dam is 41 meters, a penstock 22 feet in diameter will flow 42,000 gallons of water per...

Question 4 (2+3) The Hoover dam is a huge hydroelectric power plant in the desert close to Las Vegas. It creates power by converting the potential energy of water at a height into electrical energy. The power available for generating electricity is given by: P = pQgh, with p = 997 kg/mthe density of water, Q the flow rate of the water (in m3/s), g the gravitational constant and h = 221 m the height of...

a) The following figure shows a water dam built for a hydroelectric power project running constantly round the year. During a dry season, it acts as water reservoir of constant height 80 m. Meanwhile rainy season, water flow of 3 m/s is added to the system. (Water density 10x10 kg/m' and volume flow, V = 45x10 m/s respectively and the gravitational acceleration is about 9.8 kg/m for both seasons).
