An inventor has developed a machine that extracts energy from water and other effluents drained from...

An inventor has developed a machine that extracts energy from water and other effluents drained from apartments in a building. The machine essentially consists of a hydraulic turbine placed in the basement (level zero), through which the effluents pass before being dumped into the sewage system. If the average height of an apartment relative to the location of the turbine is 30 meters and the average flow from each apartment (assume it to be water) is 100 liters per day, calculate the average power produced by the contraption if there are 100 apartments in the building. Assume ambient state to be 300 K, 1 bar.
