A turbine at the bottom of a dam has a flow of liquid water through it. How does that produce power? Which terms in the energy

Question 1

A turbine at the bottom of a dam has a flow of liquid water through it. How does that produce power? Which terms in the energy equation are important?

Question 2

The water at the bottom of the dam in the turbine inlet is at a high pressure. It runs through a nozzle generating kinetic energy as the pressure drops. This high kinetic energy flow impacts a set of rotating blades or buckets which converts the kinetic energy to power on the shaft so the flow leaves at low pressure and low velocity.
