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 kilogram of water leaving the nozzle.
