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).

The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine generator at a location where the depth of the water is 50 m. Water is to be supplied at a rate of 5000 kg/s. If the electric power generated is measured to be 1862 kW and the generator efficiency is 95 percent, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the turbine-generator, (b) the mechanical efficiency of the turbine, and (c) the...

4. Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 20 m above at a rate of 90 Ls while consuming 25.4 kW of electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the pipes and any changes in kinetic energy, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the pump motor unit and (b) the pressure difference between the inlet and the exit of the pump. he 20m

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a fresh-water lake at a depth of 25.8 m. Assume the density of the water is 1.00 ✕ 103 kg/m3 and the air above is at a pressure of 101.3 kPa. Pa (b) What force is exerted by the water on the window of an underwater vehicle at this depth if the window is circular and has a diameter of 36.0 cm? N

Water (density 998 kg/m', absolute viscosity 1.12x10 Ns/m2) is pumped from a lake into a reservoir at a rate of 0.7 m/s. The water flows through a re-entrant opening, a valve, and a sharp-edge...
Water (density 998 kg/m', absolute viscosity 1.12x10 Ns/m2) is pumped from a lake into a reservoir at a rate of 0.7 m/s. The water flows through a re-entrant opening, a valve, and a sharp-edged exit, which have loss coefficients of 0.8, 10, and 1, respectively. The pipe has an absolute roughness of 1x104m and di of 0.30 m. The pump efficiency is 65%. A) Is the flow in the pipe laminar or turbulent? (2 points) B) What is the power...

In a reheat-cycle power plant, steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 5 MPa, 450°C, and expands to 0.5 MPa, after which it is reheated to 450°C. The steam is then expanded through the low-pressure turbine to 7.5 kPa. Liquid water (Vi 0.001 m/kg) leaves the condensor at 30°C, is pumped to 5 MPa, and returned to the steam generator. Each turbine is adiabatic, with an isentropic efficiency of 81.6 % and the pump efficiency is 848 %. If the total...
