The area of the reservoir in problem 4 is 3.0km2 . The plant supplies a load of 12MW for 3h. Calculate the fall in the level of the reservoir during this period.
A turbine system is harnessing the energy of flowing water from reservoir 1 to reservoir 2. The difference in elevation between the two reservoirs is 120ft. For a design flowrate of 50ft^3/s, the head loss is 30ft. Solve the efficiency of the turbine if the actual energy extracted is 100hp. Neglect the difference in atmospheric pressure between the reservoirs. O 24.90% O 35.60% O 40.80% O 19.60%
Water flows through a 7.5 m diameter penstock on a dam at a flow rate of 113 m3/s. The total head available for the turbine is 18.4 m. The specifiic weight of water is 9810 N/m3. What is the power generated by the turbine?
Read the question carefully and give me right solution with clear calculations. Note: If you don't know the solution please leave it but don't give me wrong solution. At a river a suitable site for a run-of-the river installation has an available head of 13 m between the water intake and the turbine house. Environmental guidelines permit to extract water for hydropower only if it is in excess of 2.8 m3/s. Estimate the power generated in kW when the flow in the river is 10.9 m3/s for a turbine with an efficiency of 90%. Present the answer as integer in kW.
