A hydroelectric power plant is being designed. The gross head from the reservoir to the tailrace is 1065 ft, and the volume flow rate of water through each turbine is 203,000 gpm at 70°F. There are 12 identical parallel turbines, each with an efficiency of 95.2 percent, and all other mechanical energy losses (through the penstock, etc.) are estimated to reduce the output by 3.5 percent. The generator itself has an efficiency of 94.5 percent. Estimate the electric power production from the plant in MW

The steam turbine shown below has a single inlet and two exit streams. It is assumed that the turbine is well insulated and the change in potential energy is negligible. The energy equation governing the turbine based on these assumptions is: Turbine inlet W. C.V. C.V. I 2.

A jet engine is bolted to a stationary test stand and run at full thrust. Air enters the engine at a rate of 80lbm/sec and fuel enters the engine at a rate of 0.8 lbm/sec. Additionally, the following values are known:Pinlet = 13 psi Pexhaust = 14.7 psiVinlet = 500 ft/sec Vexhaust = 1500 ft/secAinlet = 4 ft2 Aexhaust = 3 ft2Find the reaction force required to hold the engine in place on the test stand.

A pumped storage power plant with a head of 150 m, with a flow rate of 6 cms for power generation and pumping, and continuous operation for 8 hours each time. Try to find (1) the power output during power generation and the total daily power generation; (2) pumping water Hourly power and total daily power demand; (3) Pumped storage power plant efficiency; (4) Adjust the pool capacity? Assuming that the water loss is 8% of the total drop, the combined efficiency of the turbine and generator is 85%, and the efficiency of the pump is 65%.
