Question: The average effluent flow rate is 3 . 0 0 m 3 / s . The water surface elevation difference ( upstream effluent disinfection tank

The average effluent flow rate is 3.00 m3/s. The water surface elevation difference (upstream effluent disinfection tank to downstream river) is 5.00 m. The average temperature of the effluent is 15C. If the effluent is routed through a pipe at 1.00 m/s velocity and through an in-pipe turbine-generator that has 80% efficiency, what electrical power would be generated?
