The height difference between the mill race and the tailrace is ten feet (3 meters), and the stream can supply, on average, 100 cubic feet of water per second (2.8 m^3 / sec). The planned turbine would be 60% efficient under those conditions. Power (watts) = density of water * height * flow rate * acceleration of gravity * coefficient of efficiency.
