Height (h)= 150 m, 650 m3 /s.
150 m, average flow rate = 650 m3 /s.
Power = force x velocity, velocity = flow rate /area.
Power flow= force x flow rate /area.Pressure = force / areaPower flow= pressure x flow rateNow,
a) Pressure = h ρ g
Pressure = 150 m * 1000 kg/m3 * 9.81 m/s^2
Pressure = 1471500 Nm^2
=> Power flow= 1471500 Nm^2 * 650 =956475000 W = 9.56 ×10^8 W

b)Ratio of this power to the facility = Power flow / average power
b)Ratio of this power to the facility = Power flow / average power
Ratio of this power to the facility = 9.56 × 10^8 W / 680 MWRatio of this power to the facility = 0.0405 ×10^2
Ratio of this power to the facility = 1.405
