A hydroelectric plant is supplied with water by a 10 km duct leading from a dam to the turbines. The duct is made of concrete and is 2 m in diameter. The duct inlet at the dam is 10 m below the water surface and 60 m above the turbine entry. The turbine discharges to the atmosphere. What flow of water at 20 °C can be expected to the turbine? How much power would the turbine develop for this flow? Pressure at the turbine inlet is 120 kN/m?.

A handheld bicycle pump can be used as an atomizer to generate a fine mist of paint or pesticide by forcing air at a high velocity through a small hole and placing a short tubebetween the liquid reservoir and the high-speed air jet whose low pressure drives the liquid up through the tube. In such an atomizer, the hole diameter is 0.3 cm, the vertical distance between the liquid level in the tube and the hole is 10 cm, and the bore (diameter) and the stroke of the air pump are 5 cm and 20 cm, respectively. If the atmospheric conditions are 20°C and 95 kPa, determine the minimum speed that the piston must be moved in the cylinder during pumping to initiate the atomizing effect. The liquid reservoir is open to the atmosphere
The refrigerant R134a is passing through the diffuser with the inlet diameter of D1=1 inch; p1=150psi; and V1=1000 ft/s as a saturated vapor. The exit parameters are p2=400 psi, and velocity V2=0.5 ft/s. Heat transfer, Work, and Potential energy changes can be neglected. NOTE: Use English units. For the kinetic energy change do not forget dividing to (778*32.2) conversion factor to obtain Btu/lbm. From NIST tables use BTU/lbm units for the enthalpy. Determine: a.Exit temperature in F; b.Mass flow rate in lbm/s; c.Exit diameter D2 in inches. d.Determine exit temperature.

A Francis turbine is installed with a vertical draft tube. The top of the draft is 1.0 m below thecenter line of spiral casing while the tail race water level is 3.0 m from the top of the draft tube. There is no velocity of whirl at the top or bottom of the draft tube and leakage are negligible. Theelevation of water from the reservoir to the center line of the turbine spiral casing is 50 m, and watervelocity at the inlet is 5 m/sec. Discharge is 2.5 cu.m/sec, hydraulic efficiency is 86%, overallefficiency of 83%. Determine the reading of a pressure gage (in psi) if one is installed at thepenstock just before the water inlet to the turbine.

a fan draws 1.42m3 per second of air at a static pressure of 2.54 cm of water through a duct 300 mm diameter and discharges it through a duct of 275 mm diameter. Determine the static fan efficiency if total fan is 75% and air is measured at 25 degree celsius and 760 mm Hg
Consider steady developing laminar flow of water in a constant-diameter horizontal discharge pipe attached to a tank. The fluid enters the pipe with nearly uniform velocity V and pressure P1. The velocity profile becomes parabolic after a certain distance with a momentum correction factor of 2 while the pressure drops to P2. Obtain a relation for the horizontal force acting on the bolts that hold the pipe attached to the tank.
The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. If the water jet rises to a height of 29 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise supplied by the pump to the waterline.
