A pump that is driven by a 7.5 hp motor takes water in at 720 degrees F and 5 psig and discharges it at 60 psig at a flow rate of 600 lbm/min. If no heat is transferred between the water in the pump and the surroundings, what will be the temperature of the water leaving the pump?
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.

A site is being considered for wind power generation. At this site, the wind blows steadily at 9 m/s for 2,579 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine the kWh/year that can be produced at the site for a turbine with a mechanical efficiency of 100% and an effective flow area of 5 m2. Use a value of 1.25 kg/m3 for the density of the air. Give your answer in killowatt-hours per year (kWh/year). Hint: I reccomend starting by finding the kinetic energy (kJ/kg) of the wind. Hint 2: Multiply the power generation (kW) by the number of hours of wind per year (h/year) to get kWh/year.
A reservoir is at effective height of 95m. An irreversible pump is used to pump a mass flow of 4500 kg/s of water from ground level into the reservoir.

Solve the problem. An air compressor (an open system) receives 272 kg per min of air at 99.29 kPa and a specific volume of 0.026 m3/kg. The air flows steadiy through the compressor and is discharged at 689.5 kPa and 0.0051 m3/kg. The initial internal energy of the air is 1594 J/kg; at discharge, the internal energy is 6241 J/kg. The cooling water circulated around the cylinder carries away 4383 J/kg of air. The change in kinetic energy is 896 J/kg increase. Sketch an energy diagram. Compute the work.
Water enters a pump at 350 kPa at a rate of 1 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a turbine in which the pressure is reduced and electricity is produced.
