One method of producing energy is to use a tapered channel (TAPCHAN), which diverts sea water into a reservoir as shown in the figure. As a wave approaches the shore through the closed tapered channel at A, its height will begin to increase until it begins to spill over the sides and into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir then passes through a turbine in the building at C to generate power and is returned to the sea at D. If the speed of the water at A is VA = 2.5 m/s, and the water depth is h4 = 3.4 m. Assume the fluid is an ideal fluid, that is, incompressible and frictionless. (Figure 1)

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.

Water is lifted from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 23 kW of power. The water is being pumped at a rate of 0.03 m^3/s with a velocity V = 1 m/s through the closed conduit connecting the two reservoirs. Accounting for the loss at the submerged discharge at the higher reservoir, determine the friction head loss along the length of the conduit.

SITUATION 4: Water is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 10-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 4- cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the center line of the pipe. The pipe entrance is a sharp edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the discharge rate of water from the reservoir. Assume the friction factor for all pipes is equal to 0.02 and the loss coefficient is 0.05 for a sharp edged entrance, and is 0.46 for sudden contraction. 18 m Oil tank 20 m 35 m
