18-80 A hydroelectric power plant consists of 18 identi- cal turbine-generator units with an overall plant efficiency of 90 percent. The gross head of the dam is 150 m and the flow rate through each turbine is 3300 L/min. The plant oper- ates 80 percent of time throughout the year and the elec- tricity generated is sold to the utility company at a rate of $0.095/kWh. How much revenue can this plant generate in a year? Answer: $873,000

Steam enters a continuous flow turbine at a pressure of 8 MPa and a temperature of 450 ℃ and reaches a pressure of 70 kPa it is expanding. The mass flow rate of the steam is 200000 kg/hour and it is in the form of saturated steam at the outlet. By accepting the ambient temperature, 25℃ and pressure 100 kPa; a) The power potential of the steam at the inlet conditions b) Can you find the turbine power output for the situation where there are no irreversibilities? (Kinetic and potential energy ignore the changes).
1. A small river is to be dammed to create a hydroelectric power plant. After the completion of the dam the river level will rise by 28 m. The river has a cross- sectional area 340 m² and the average water velocity is 0.6 m/s. If the com- bined turbine-generator efficiency of the power plant is 0.75, what is the power this river may produce?
