A multipurpose reservoir with a surface area of 1 km² is being designed for Gibson, TN. The daily average inflow from a nearby stream is 0.05 m³/s. Annual precipitation averages 1400 mm/yr and losses to evaporation and seepage to groundwater are expected to be 500 mm/yr. A minimum daily release of 0.01 m³/s is required to protect downstream fisheries. Assuming the volume of the lake is 107.000 m³, how long will it take to fill the reservoir?

A Francis radial-flow hydroturbine is being designed with the following dimensions: r2 = 2.00 m, r1 = 1.42 m, b2 = 0.731 m, and b1 = 2.20 m. The runner rotates at n. = 180 rpm. The wicket gates turn the flow by angle ?2 = 30° from radial at the runner inlet, and the flow at the runner outlet is at angle ?1 = 10° from radial. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 340 m3 /s, and the gross head provided by the dam is Hgross = 90.0 m. For the preliminary design, irreversible losses are neglected. Calculate the turbine specific speed of the turbine. Provide answers in both dimensionless form and in customary U.S. units. Is it in the normal range for a Francis turbine? If not, what type of turbine would be more appropriate?

a potential hydraulic plant site average elevation of head water is estimated at 550 m tailwater elevation at 400 m water flows through a 96 cm diameter penstock and an average velocity of 4.5 m/s. If water turbine eff. is 87%, generator 96%, loss in headworks 40% of the available head, calculate the annual electrical energy the site can produce.
This problem is useful for the preliminary design of a hydroturbine. From the material learned in this chapter, it is fairly simple to estimate how much power a hydroturbine can generate, given only the flow rate of water and the elevation difference upstream and downstream of the dam. A dam has a gross head of 15.5 m and a flow rate of 0.22 m3 /s. Approximating the overall efficiency of the turbine/generator to be 75%, estimate the electrical power (in kW) that couldbe produced.

A pump is needed to drain an excavation at a construction site. The excavation has alength of 50m, width of 50m, and a depth of 4m. The surface of the water in the excavation lies at adepth, H=3m, from the top the of the excavation.
