1. A small river is to be dammed to create a hydroelectric power plant. After the completion of the dam the river level will rise by 28 m. The river has a cross- sectional area 340 m² and the average water velocity is 0.6 m/s. If the com- bined turbine-generator efficiency of the power plant is 0.75, what is the power this river may produce?
3. A diesel power plant provides power for Meralco in 20 hrs per day of operation. The industrial fuel used is 40 deg. API at 15.6 deg. C. The total consumption is 3500 L per day at 30 deg. C. Determine the following: a. Mass Flow Rate b. Total cost of fuel for an eight-week operation if total cost of fuel per gallon is 52 pesos.
A power plant with a nominal rating of 1kW does not actually produce 1kW continuously because its capacity factor C - the fraction of the time that it is actually running at its rated power - is less than 100%. If the capacity factor C = 35%, how much energy will be generated by this power plant over 1 year in MJ?
Suppose that a new gasoline engine has been invented which can operate at the maximumthermodynamic efficiency (rather than the 25% or so which characterize most realisticengines). The burned fuel reaches about 2100 degrees C inside the engine and a 50 L gas tank has about2 GJ of fuel energy. If the engine must supply 30 hp to keep the car at a steady speed on the highway, how long will a tank of gas last?
A regional electric utility company has a power plant with 1000 MW of electricity. The overall thermal efficiency of the power plant is 25%. The fuel used in the plant is an oil with a heating value of 5.00 ´106 kJ/kg and costs PHP 3.75 per liter. The density of the oil is 0.90 kg/L. Determine: (a) the daily fuel requirement (kg) when the plant runs at maximum capacity.(b) the daily fuel cost (PHP) of running the plant at maximum capacity.There are two answers: one for (a), one for (b).

The cost of electricity to operate a compressor for one year can exceed the purchase price of the compressor.
A gas turbine cycle is preferred over steam power plant in power station that is used to generate electricity. Your manger asked you to investigate and study the possibility of upgrading the power plant discussed in Project-1 to a gas turbine cycle or a combination of both cycles (Combined cycle). The head of the department asked you to deliver a report showing a professional evaluation and assessment for gas turbine cycle efficiency given the following information.First you selected a gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle and according to the manufacturing datasheets it has the following specifications:• A pressure ratio of 10.• Heat is added to the cycle at a rate of 500 kW• Air passes through the engine at a rate of 1 kg/s• The air at the beginning of the compression is at 70 kPa and 0 C.
2-a Explain the effect of pressure ratio on the net work and the efficiency of a steam power суcle.
