During a camping trip, you see a 30-cm-diameter plastic pipe carrying water from a high reservoir to a stream in the valley. The difference in height between the reservoir's free surface and the stream is 70 meters. You come up with the concept of using this water to generate electricity. Create a power plant that gets the greatest electricity out of this resource. Also, look at the impact of electricity production on water discharge rates. What discharge rate produces the most power?

The city of Springfield (where the Simpsons live) has finally decided to put the perpetually burning tire pile to good use. They use the heat to generate power (much to the chagrin of Mr. Burns). The plant has a concrete stack that emits flue gases into the atmosphere as shown in the figure below. Q : 2 D = 10 ft L= 250 ft From heat source 1. [4 ft- 4 ft For p1 = 31.0 in. Hg, abs. and V2 = 2600 ft/min, find the useful energy loss in the system (between points 1 and 2) in ft · Ib/lbm. At point 2, T2 = 350°F and p2 = 14.75 psia. Use a constant flue gas density of 0.055 lbm/ft³. Note: Point 1 is in a square duct; Point 2 (the stack) is a round duct. loss = i 466.67 ft · Ib/lbm
