Chapter 6, Problem 61SP
Water flows from a reservoir at the rate of 3000 kg/min, to a turbine 120 m below. If the efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, compute the power output of the turbine. Neglect friction in the pipe and the small KE of the water leaving the turbine. Don’t forget that it’s only 80 percent efficient.

- Paraxial design of a field flattener. Imagine your optical system has Petzal curvature of the field with radius p. In Module 1 of Course 1, a homework problem asked you to derive the paraxial focus shift along the axis when a slab of glass was inserted in a converging cone of rays. Find or re-derive that result, then use it to calculate the paraxial radius of curvature of a field flattener of refractive index n that will correct the observed Petzval. Assume that the side of the flattener facing the image plane is plano. What is the required radius of the plano-convex field flattener?

- 6. Bending a lens in OpticStudio or OSLO. In either package, create a BK7 singlet lens of 10 mm semi-diameter and with 10 mm thickness. Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens. In OpticStudio, create a default merit function optimizing on spot size.Then insert one extra line at the top of the merit function.
