The flow of a river is 150 cubic feet per second at a site where a 75 feet hydrostatic head canbe created by the erection of a dam. What is the potential capacity (in kW) of a hydroelectricpower plant if installed at this site? Consider that hydraulic efficiency of energy conversioncan be 80%, and that the electric efficiency can be 90%.
A 35 percent-efficient coal-fired power plant with effective height of 100 m emits SO2 at a rate of 0.6 lb/10^6 Btu into the plant. If winds are assumed to be 4 m/s at the stack height and just over 3 m/s at 10 m, how large could the plant be (MW) without having the ground level SO2 exceed 365 micrograms/m^3?
Discuss the benefits of pumped storage hydropower (PSH).
Water flows through a 7.5 m diameter penstock on a dam at a flow rate of 113 m3/s. The total head available for the turbine is 18.4 m. The specifiic weight of water is 9810 N/m3. What is the power generated by the turbine?
A hydroelectric power station is supplied from a reservoir having an area of 50 km2and a head of 50 m.If overall efficiency of the plant is 60%, find the rate at which the water level will fall when the stationis generating 30,000 kW
The flow rate of the hydroelectric power plant in the figure is 50 m3/s, and 2 meters of water column energy loss occurs due to friction in the pipeline. Find the power that water transfers to the turbine. Calculate the theoretical and actual power of the turbine by taking the efficiency of the turbine-generator group, η = 0.92. (Answer: Ntheoric=52 MW and Nreal=48 MW)
Pls answer ASAP. A hydroelectric power plant takes in 1060 ft³/s of water through its turbine and discharges it to the atmosphere at 7 ft/s. The head loss in the penstock is 66 ft. Estimate the power extracted by the turbine in horsepower. Show fbd.
Note: Use three decimal places and no need to input the unit. Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500 m3/s at a location 90 m above the lake surface. Determine the power generation potential of the entire river at that location. (in MW)
Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas in the second site the wind blows at 10 m/s for 2000 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine which is a better site for wind power generation. Hint: Note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity.[take the density of air to be ρ = 1.25 kg/m3]
