Water from a large tank is used to generate electricity by installing a hydraulic turbine- generator at 100 m down from the water surface as shown in Figure QS. The water is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 2000 kg's. If the mechanical power input of the turbine is 1800 kW and the generator efficiency is 80%, determine the percentage reduction of efficiency between generator alone and combination of turbine-generator Consider the water density as 1000 kg/m (7...

9) Electrical power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 70 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1500 kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 800 kW and the electric power generation is 350 kW, determine the turbine efficiency and the combined turbine-generator efficiency of this plant. Neglect losses in the pipes. (10pts).

6. Determine the power required for a 5000-kg car to accelerate from 5m/s to 20m/s in 10 seconds. (Show the formula and procedures.) 7. For a hydroelectric plant, a hydraulic turbine-generator is installed at the site below the free surface. The turbine drives a generator for electricity. The elevation difference between the two free surfaces is h = 60m. The mass flow rate of water is th = 300kg/s. The shaft power output from the turbine is W. = 87kW....

A Pelton wheel installation uses a water jet of 75mm diameter to drive a wheel with the buckets on a diameter of 0.9m. The deflection angle of the buckets is 160 o .The relative velocity of the water is reduced by 12% while moving across the buckets. The rotational 8 speed is 320rpm, the total pressure behind the nozzle is 0.7Mpa and the velocity coefficient of the nozzle is 0.98. Determine 5.1 the hydraulic power developed by the wheel, 5.2...

(4 points) A large wind turbine is used for electricity generation. The turbine has a blade span diameter of 53 m and is installed in an area that has steady winds at 5.6 m/s. The efficiency of this wind turbine-generator is 34.8 %. The density of the air is 1.25 kgm3kgm3. What is the power generated from this windmill? If the blade span diameter is reduced by 33 %, the efficiency of the turbine-generator increases to 73.428 %. What is...

7.26. The conversion of the kinetic energy of wind to electricity may be an attractive altemative to the use of fossil fuels. Typically, wind causes the rotor of a turbine to turn, and a generator converts the rotational kinetic energy ofthe rotor into electricity. Power generated by a wind turbine (Ws) can be estimated from the density of the air (p), wind speed (u), and turbine rotor diameter (D) using the following formula лD? 1 W. ти* х п, where...

A hydraulic power system, as shown in the picture, has an elevation difference between the reservoir water surface and the downstream water pond surface of H( 7 m). A discharge of 0.8 m3/s flows through the penstock and spins a hydraulic turbine, which in turn drives a generator to produce electric power. Estimate the electric power generated if the head loss through the entrance, penstock and exit is 1 m, L and the efficiency of the turbine and generator are...
