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. Consider water as an incompressible liquid with mass density of 1000kg/m . 1) What is the power consumption of pump for an isentropic pump efficiency of 82%? 2) What is the power that can be recovered from a turbine with 93%? (with the same mass flow and height). 3)What is the change in temperature of the pumped water?
In a natural gas pipeline compressor, 110 m3/min. propane is compressed polytropically. The inlet pressure is 101 kPaa and the temperature is 38 0 The process follows pV1.08 = C.

A nozzle is a system which converts some of the entering energy into kinetic energy. No shafts are turned within this system and no heat loss. Let the nozzle receive 2,400 lb/hr. of steam at p1 = 200 psia, v1 = 2.29 cu.ft./lb., u1 = 1113.7 Btu/lb., and negligible speed. At the exit, p2 = 14.7 psia, v2 = 26.77 cu.ft./lb., and u2 = 1077.5 Btu/lb. What is the exit speed in mph?

A steam power plant has a high pressure of 2.5 MPa after release from the pump and it maintains 40°C in the condenser. The quality of the stream exiting the turbine is 80%. Solve for the work produced by the turbine and the pump, the heat transfer in the boiler, and heat removed by the condenser. (Answer in kJ/kg)
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. The shaft power input to the pump is 1 KW snd the shaft power output the turbine is 1 kW. Both the pump and turbine are 90% efficient. If the elevation and velocity of the water remain constant through out the flow and irreversible headloss is 1 m, the pressure of water in kPa at the turbine exit is A. 131 B. 129 C. 126 D. 127 With F.B.D
