A water jet that leaves a nozzle at 60 m/s at a flow
rate of 120 kg/s is to be used to generate power by striking
the buckets located on the perimeter of a wheel. Determine
the power generation potential of this water jet.

Answer
Velocity of the water jet
Mass flow rate of the water
★★concept:-
The kinetic energy is a form of energy that is associated with the velocity of an object.
The water jet that leaves the nozzle has high velocity and it possesses only kinetic energy and no other form energy like potential energy due to the available head of the water.
This kinetic energy is used to generate power by striking the buckets located on the perimeter of a wheel.
★★Explanation:-
The power generation potential of the water jet-
p=1/2mV^2
