Question: You extract the highest residential elevation from Amherst ( 3 3 1 m ) and the elevation from the wastewater treatment plant ( 2 9

You extract the highest residential elevation from Amherst (331m) and the elevation from the wastewater treatment plant (29m). What is the potential energy of wastewater traveling to the wastewater treatment plant. Draw (inside the box) a schematic that depicts your calculations and state any assumptions.
Assuming no change in the temperature of the wastewater stream, use an energy balance to describe the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. Simplify the system, draw a schematic and state all your assumptions. Use the estimated kinetic energy to calculate the flowrate of the wastewater traveling through 8 inch pipe. Pay careful attention to unit conversions.
