A small, pumped storage scheme is used to pump water to a reservoir during the night and to generate power during peak demand times in the late afternoon. The pumped storage scheme consists of a pump and an impulse turbine as shown in the figure below. 4.1 The reservoir is initially to be filled with the pump which can deliver a constant head of 36 m water. Determine the time it will take to fill the reservoir. 4.2 The reservoir is to be drained for maintenance purposes by disconnecting it from the pump and turbine. Calculate the time that it will take to drain the reservoir. 4.3 Calculate the flowrate at the pipe outlet to the impulse turbine when the water level in the reservoir is kept constant. 4.4 Calculate the head loss against friction and the hydraulic power available for case 1.3 above.

pleaseee solve it need urgent Consider a turbocharged SI engine, with an intercooler (i/c), as shown in the Figure for Q 2 below. The turbine of the turbocharger is driven by the exhaust gases first, thereby producing power to drive the turbo-compressor. The exhaust gases leaves the turbocharger turbine in the exhaust system of the engine after serving its purpose. The turbo-compressor and the turbocharger turbine are mounted on the same shaft. For a certain engine load and throttle positioning, the conditions are given as follows: Turbo-compressor air inlet: Pressure is 100 kPa, temperature is 30°C, and the mass flow rate is 0.10 kg/s. Turbocharger turbine inlet: Pressure is 170 kPa and the temperature is 650° Turbocharger turbine exit (engine’s exhaust system): Pressure is 100 Assume that both the turbine and the compressor are running at 120,000 rev/min and there is no entropy generation in them, and they have the same mass flow rates. Use standard symbols and sketch your own…

5. Water from a reservoir A 10 m elevation is drawn by a motor driven pump to an upper reservoir B at 72 m elevation. For discharge rate of 15 L/s, find the power input to the motor if overall efficiency is 65%.
10. A centrifugal pump operating under steady-flow conditions 2.28 m/min of water with a specific volume of 0.001 m³/kg from an initial pressure of 84 kPa to a final pressure of 280 kPa. The diameter of the suction inlet to the pump is 15 cm and the diameter of the discharge outlet is 10 cm. If the suction and discharge lines are at the same level, and no change in internal energy, determine the work (hp) done on the water by the pump. Ans. 10.46 hp 3
A centrifugal pump operating under steady flow conditions delivers 2275 kg/min of water from aninitial pressure of 82730 Pa to a final pressure of 275850 Pa. The diameter of the inlet pipe to thepump is 15.45 cm and the diameter of the discharge pipe is 10.18cm. What is the work in kW?

c) Water is pumped from a deep well (located 20 m underground) to a hilltop reservoir (located at 50 m above ground level). Water is being transferred at a rate of 4800 LPM while the pump consumes 60,000 kW of electric power in the process. Assume that there are no frictional losses in the piping system and the change in kinetic energy between the inlet and outlet of the piping system is negligible. Determine the overall efficiency of the pump-motor setup.
A heat pump is used for warming a house during winter and cooling it over summer. The temperature inside the house is set to 19o C during winter and 24o C during summer. The heat is transferred through the house walls and is estimated to be 2200 kJ/hro C. During winter, the outside temperature is 2o C. What is the maximal power required to operate the pump engine? Using the maximal power obtained for (a) to cool down the house during summer. If the house temperature should be maintained on 24o C, what will be the maximum temperature outside?
