Question

60 degree F water flows through a horizontal turbine.  The water speeds at the turbine inlet and the turbine outlet are identical.  The water gage pressure at the turbine inlet is 46.4 psi while that at the outlet is 12.2 psi.  Assume water frictional losses through the turbine are negligible. 

Deterimine the shaft work rate in ft*lb per slug of water passing through the turbine.  Answer

  • with a positive number if mechanical energy goes into the water and
  • a negative number if mechanical energy comes out of the water

as it passes through the turbine.
