Chapter 7, Problem 7.51PP

A creek runs through a certain part of a campus where the water is falling about   2.5 m over a distance of just 8 m, and the creek before and after the fall is about 3 m wide. The sustainability club has asked you about the potential of harnessing this energy. It is difficult to measure exactly, but a rough estimate of the flow at this spot is 150 L/min. Determine the wattage that could be generated assuming an overall system efficiency of 60 percent. Sketch the arrangement that would permit this.

3. A steam power plant has an average monthly net power delivery of 740 MW over the course of a year. This power delivery is accomplished by burning coal in the boiler. The coal has a heating value of 9150 Btu/lbm. The cost of the coal is $14.20/ton. The overall thermal efficiency of the plant is, nth Wnet Qboiler 0.26 = 26% Determine the annual cost of the coal required to deliver the given average monthly power.
