A pump is installed in a pipe system, where at the suction side 1.0 m below the pump, an open manometer reads a vacuum of 20 cm of mercury. The pipe is 10 cm in diameter and the flow is 35 L/s of water. Find the total energy at the location of the manometer, relative to a datum, through the pump. ( WITH FREE BODY DIAGRAM ) CHOIECES: A.2.56 B.-2.72 m C.12.74 m D.-4.67 m
How long should a rotor blade of a wind turbine be if it is designed to produce 10 kW and the prevailing wind speed is about 50 kph? Assume that air density is 1.20 kg/m3.
In wind turbines, the minimum wind speed at which useful power can be generated is called the (a) Rated speed (b) Cut-in speed (c) Cut-out speed (d) Available speed (e) Betz speed
