Water must flow over a distance of 2 800 m from a large catchment dam to a turbine. The water level in the catchment dam is 1 620 m above sea level and the turbine is situated 1 275 m above sea level. The efficiency of transmission is 65% and 300 kW must be transmitted from the pipeline to the turbine. If f = 0.007, determine the number of 200 mm diameter pipelines, which must be laid in parallel, needed to transmit the required power.
The flow rate of the hydroelectric power plant in the figure is 50 m3/s, and 2 meters of water column energy loss occurs due to friction in the pipeline. Find the power that water transfers to the turbine. Calculate the theoretical and actual power of the turbine by taking the efficiency of the turbine-generator group, η = 0.92. (Answer: Ntheoric=52 MW and Nreal=48 MW)
A horizontal jet of 57 liters/sec strikes tangentially on one or another of a series of moving curved vanes, each having a deflection angle of 60 degrees. The water as it leaves the vane has an absolute velocity of 12 m/sec and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. (a) Determine the horizontal force exerted on the vanes. (b) Determine the power developed.
QUESTION 1. The diameter of a pulley that is connected to the mid-span of a hollow shaft is 175mm. The pulley on the shaft is driven by a reciprocating compressor through a belt drive system, the ratio of the diameters of the connected pulleys on either sides is given as 1:2. The power transmitted by the hollow shaft is given as 45 kW while rotating at a speed of 350 rpm. The shaft has a span of 750mm which is supported on its ends by sturdy bearings that will not allow for self alignment and thereby generating bending moment at the supporting components. The tension ratio between the tight and slack sides of the belt is given as 1.9:1 with an angle of wrap of 180 degrees. Design the shaft considering that the available shaft material is BS970:070M55 that will fail in shear as per von Mises criteria, a factor of safety of 3.5 can be assumed for the material on its ultimate strength.
