Question

Transcribed Image Text:In a hydroelectric power plant, water at 20°C is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 0.55 m³/s through a 200-m-long, 0.35-m-diameter
cast iron pipe. The elevation difference between the free surface of the reservoir and the turbine discharge is 140 m, and the
combined turbine-generator efficiency is 79 percent. Disregarding the minor losses because of the large length-to-diameter ratio,
determine the electric power output of this plant. The density and dynamic viscosity of water at 20°C arep= 998 kg/m3 and u= 1.002
x 10-3 kg/m-s. The roughness of the cast iron pipes is ɛ = 0.00026 m.
The electric power output of this plant is kW.

- If the load is connected to the generator thgrough an inductive line and the voltage at the load side is the same as the voltage at the terminals of the generator, which of the following must be true? O A. The reactive power is flowing from the generator to the load and from load to the generator at the same time. O B. The load is disconnected, and no power is delivered to the load. O C. The load has a poor power factor and it's absorbing too much reactive power. O D. None of the other choices are correct O E. The generator is unable to produce reactive power; therefore, the reactive power is flowing from the load to the generator.arrow_forwardIf the load draws a current of 2727 A, in phase, from a generator, which of the following statement is true? O A. The reactive power is flowing from generator to the load and the real power is flowing from the load to the generator. O B. Since the current is in phase with the generator voltage, both the real and reactive power is flowing from the generator to the load. O .Since the current is leading the generator, both the real and reactive power is flowing from the load to the generator. O D. The real power is flowing from generator to the load and the reactive power is flowing from the load to the generator. O E. None of the other choices are correctarrow_forwardIn the system shown in Figure 1, the transformers are connected star-star with both star points grounded and the generator is connected in star with its star points grounded.
