The town of Dry Gulch needs more water from Pine Creek. The town engineer has selected two plans for comparison: a gravity plan (divert water at a point 10 miles up Pine Creek and pipe it by gravity to the town) and a pumping plan (divert water at a point closer to town). The pumping plant would be built in two stages, with half-capacity installed initially and the other half installed 10 years later. (a) Use an annual cash flow analysis to find which plan is more economical. The analysis will assume a 40-year life, 10% interest, and no salvage value. Initial investment Investment in 10th year Operation and maintenance Power cost Average first 10 years Average next 30 years Gravity Pumping $2,800,000 $1,400,000 None 200,000 10,000/yr 25,000/yr None None 50,000/yr 100,000/yr

Complete Solution please, thanks. 3. A vertical circular stack 30 m high converges uniformly from a diameter of 6 m at the bottom and 4.5 m at the top. Gas with a unit weight of 0.12 N per cubic meter enters the bottom of the tank with a uniform velocity of-assume values with decimals between 3 to 4 m per second- enters the stack. The unit weight increases by 7.5 percent every 2 meters. Find the velocity of flow at every 5 meters along the stack.

15. Refer to the figure below. In a hydroelectric power plant, 70m³/s of water (p = 1010kg/m³) flows from an elevation of 125m to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The overall efficiency of the turbine-generator is 84% (16% of total energy was lost). Disregarding frictional losses in piping, estimate the electric power output of this plant. 70mis 125m Turbine Generator utine p 84% Refer to Problem 15

The river flow on the average in any year is: 5.60 m³/s for 2 months 2.80 m3/s for 2 months 2.10 m /s for 1 month 1.10 m /s for 7 months If the site is developed as a run of a river plant without storage, what capacity must be provided in a stand-by plant? The efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant will be 80% overall. Desitting Tank Intake Deversion Weir Forebay Headrace
A multipurpose reservoir with a surface area of 1 km² is being designed for Gibson, TN. The daily average inflow from a nearby stream is 0.05 m³/s. Annual precipitation averages 1400 mm/yr and losses to evaporation and seepage to groundwater are expected to be 500 mm/yr. A minimum daily release of 0.01 m³/s is required to protect downstream fisheries. Assuming the volume of the lake is 107,000 m³, how long will it take to fill the reservoir?
