Determine the velocity and kinetic energy per lbm of water

Reference no: EM131238473

A water turbine using nozzles is located at the bottom of Hoover Dam 575 ft below the surface of Lake Mead. The water enters the nozzles at a stagnation pressure corresponding to the column of water above it minus 20% due to friction. The temperature is 60 F, and the water leaves at standard atmospheric pressure. If the flow through the nozzle is reversible and adiabatic, determine the velocity and kinetic energy per lbm of water leaving the nozzle.
