2. A power company is considering damming a river that has a steady flow rate of 175 m3/s. At the location where the dam will be installed there is a potential elevation change of 80 m. What is the maximum (ideal) amount of power that could be generated by this dam? a. Sketch the problem. b.Draw lines identifying the control volume, or control mass. c.Identify the states with numbers, letters, or descriptions such as “in” and “out”. d.Write down the knowns and unknowns. e.Identify what is being asked for. f.State all assumptions.
