(a)
The power extracted by the turbine.

Answer to Problem 3.174P
The power extracted by the turbine is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The flow rate is
Write the expression for the Bernoulli’s equation between the inlet and outlet of the turbine.
Here, the pressure at Section (1) is
Since the pressure at the inlet and outlet are atmospheric pressure so the pressure at section (1) and section (2) are same.
Since the diameter of the pipe is constant, so the velocity at section (1) and section (2) is same.
Substitute
Write the expression for the turbine power.
Here, the power extracted by the turbine is
Calculation:
Substitute
Substitute
Convert the turbine power from
Conclusion:
The power extracted by the turbine is

Fluid Mechanics
- A gearbox has permanent shaft positions defined by the bearing mounting positions, but the gear ratio can be changed by changing the number of teeth in the pinion and gear. To achieve similar power transmission ability for different gear ratios, a manufacturer chooses to have the same module for two different gearboxes. One of the gaerboxes has a pinion with 22 teeth, a gear with 68 teeth, and a center distance of 225mm. How large is the gear module and which gear ratios are possible for a pinion with 22 or more teeth using the same module?arrow_forwardA gear train has a 50.3 mm circular pitch and a 25 degree pressure angle and meshes with a pinion having 12 teeth Design this gear train to minimize its volume and the total number of teeth.
