The following data refer to a Pelton wheel: the bucket angle b=165°, the coefficient of discharge for the nozzle Cv = 0.98, the friction coefficient k = 0.2. Assume that the optimum speed ratio differs from 0.5 as a result of losses due to windage and bearing friction, which are proportional to the square of the rotational speed (take the proportionality constant equal to 0.2), obtain a formula for the optimum speed ratio, hence calculate it for the above given data and also calculate the maximum overall efficiency, in percentile.

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Question

The following data refer to a Pelton wheel: the bucket angle b=165°, the
coefficient of discharge for the nozzle Cv = 0.98, the friction coefficient k
= 0.2. Assume that the optimum speed ratio differs from 0.5 as a result of
losses due to windage and bearing friction, which are proportional to the
square of the rotational speed (take the proportionality constant equal to
0.2), obtain a formula for the optimum speed ratio, hence calculate it for
the above given data and also calculate the maximum overall efficiency, in
percentile.

Q3: You are designing a four-stroke cycle diesel engine to provide a brake power of 300 kW naturally aspirated at its maximum rated speed. Based on typical values for bmep and maximum mean piston speed, estimate the required engine displacement, bore and stroke for sensible cylinder geometry, also find the number of engine cylinders. What is the maximum rated engine speed (rev/min) for your design? What would be the brake torque (N-m) and the fuel flow rate (g/hr) at this maximum speed? Assume a maximum mean piston speed of 12 m/s is typical of good engine designs.
If a wind turbine has blades of length 50 m, calculate the number of cycles, N, the turbine would make during it's 30 year operational lifespan if the mean windspeed, uo, is 12 ms and the tip speed ratio, 2, is 10.
