What is steady flow and unsteady flow through an orifice?
In an hydroelectric plant, 100 m^3/s of water flows from elevation of 120 m to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The overall efficiency of the turbine-generator is 80 percent Disregarding frictional losses in piping. Estimate the electric power output of this plant.
A pressurized tank of water has a 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom, where water discharges to the atmosphere. The water level is 2.5 m above the outlet. The tank air pressure above the water level is 250 kPa (absolute) while the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the initial discharge rate of water from the tank.

- The impeller of a centrifugal blower has a radius of 15 cm and a blade width of 6.1 cm at the inlet, and a radius of 30 cm and a blade width of 3.4 cm at the outlet. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disre- garding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volu- metric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 800 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W.
