Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 570 m³/s at a location 90 m above the lake surface. Determine the total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass and the power generation potential of the entire river at that location. We take the density of water to be p = 1000 kg/m3. The total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass is kJ/kg.
