At the Manapouri hydroelectric station on the South Island of New Zealand, water from Lake Manapouri drops through 230 meters before being discharged to the sea at Doubtful Sound. The maximum flow rate of water through the plant is 510 cubic meters per second.   1 cubic meter of water has a weight of 1,000 kg. Calculate the maximum amount of power that could be generated at Manapouri.  (You can refer to the class handout, the textbook Section 2.2 or the slides for the necessary energy and power conversions). Group of answer choices A. 3.2 TW B. 3500 Watts C.120 MW D. 1.2 GW E. 350 MW

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
