In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3/s of water flows from an elevation of 90 m to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The overall efficiency of the turbine–generator is 84 percent. Disregarding frictional losses in piping, estimate the electric power output of this plant.
An underground salt cavern has approximate dimensions of 100m x 500m x 3m. The underground salt cavern is allowed to discharge through a turbine, producing electricity. The pressure in the cavern decreases from 120 kPa to 110 kPa in 90 minutes. What was its average power output? (assume 100% efficiency) (Note: atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.3 kPa)
