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.
A pump is used to raised water to a reservoir through 800 m. long of 20 cm diameter with Cw of Hazen-William’s Equation equal to 110. If the pipe is to be replaced with a new one having the same length but with a diameter of 25 cm and Cw = 130, determine the power save if the flow is to be maintained at 100 liters per second. Draw the approximate EGL and HGL.
A small hydro electric power plant utilizing two (2) Pelton turbines and a single main penstock serving water to two nozzles for respective turbines. If both turbines are operated at the same time with same efficiency of 92% under the same net head of 2314 ft, same speed of 360 rpm and same flow rate. Determine the specific speed if the flow rate in the main penstock is 263 ft3 /s.
A pipe is used to deliver water at a rate of 3.8 m³/s from the intake to the turbine. The difference in elevation between the intake’s water surface and the turbine is 200 m. Knowing the headloss in the pipeline from the intake to the turbine is 8 m, find the power (in kW) generated by the turbine if its efficiency is 80%.
Calculate the water power available in the pipe flowing at the rate of 0.169 m3/s with total Head as 24.8 m. 4.2 W 4191.2 W 41.1 W 41115.7 W
Water must flow over a distance of 2 800 m from a large catchment dam to a turbine. The water level in the catchment dam is 1 620 m above sea level and the turbine is situated 1 275 m above sea level. The efficiency of transmission is 65% and 300 kW must be transmitted from the pipeline to the turbine. If f = 0.007, determine the number of 200 mm diameter pipelines, which must be laid in parallel, needed to transmit the required power.
1. Determine the power required to drive a centrifugal pump which discharges water at the rate of 200 liters per minute against a total head of 22m. Take overall efficiency of the pump as 70 %
Water at 60 F from a lake through 500 ft if 4in ID cast iron pipe at a water turbine 250 ft below the surface of the lake. After flowing from the turbine, the water is discharged into the atmosphere through a horizontal 50 ft section of the same pipe. The turbine power output is 10hp when the water in the discharged pipe is flowing at 5 ft/s. What is the turbine efficiency defined as the actual power output of the turbine divided by the power output that would be withdrawn if there are no friction within the turbine. If the turbine were by passed, what would be the flow rate of water through the 500 ft of 4in pipe. a. Draw the diagram. b. Solve the problem. Provide complete solution.
Question What is the maximum power available at the downstream end of a pipeline 3 km long, 20 cm in diameter, if water enters at the upstream end at a pressure of 720 m of water, with the taking pipe friction coefficient as 0.03 and gas 10m/s²?
