Concept explainers

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

A flow rate of 3 m'/s of water is available at a height of I 10 m at a project site. Due to losses in the sup- ply line, the head available at the inlet to powerhouse is estimated to be only 101 m of water. The leakage losses in the powerhouse are negligible. Mechanical losses account for 150 kW. Frictional losses in the rotor blades may be taken as 250 kW. The exit velocity of water from the turbines is 4.5 m/s. Calculate the hydraulic, mechanical, and overall efficiencies of the plant. The specific weight of water may be taken as 9810 N/m.
