Water from a moderately sized river flows at a rate of 100 m3 /s down a perfectly smooth pipe, falling 100 m into a turbine. 1. Calculate the power available. 2. If in practice 10% of the power is lost by friction, transformation and distribution, find how many houses having average electricity use of about 1.0 kW (i.e. 24 kWh/day) could this power supply? 3. Predict the population of the town.

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.
