Problem 8The demand for electric power is usually much higher during the day than it is at night, andutility companies often sell power at night at much lower prices to encourage consumers to usethe available power generation capacity and to avoid building new expensive power plants thatwill be used only a short time during peak periods. Utilities are also willing to purchase powerproduced during the day from private parties at a high price. Suppose a utility company is selling electric power for $0.07/kWh at night and is willing to pay $0.15/kWh for power produced during the day. To take advantage of this opportunity, an entrepreneur is considering building a large reservoir 100 m above the lake level, pumping water from the lake to the reservoir at night using cheap power, and letting the water flow from the reservoir back to the lake during the day, producing power as the pump–motor operates as a turbine–generator during reverse flow. Preliminary analysis shows that a water flow…
Box the final answer. Write legibly. Steam is supplied to a fully loaded 1.2 MW turbine at 1.2 mpa with internal energy of 2,620 kJ/kg, specific volume of 0.12 m3/kg and a speed of 120 m/s. The exhaust is at 20 kpa with internal energy of 2,420 kJ/kg, specific volume 8.2 m3/kg, and speed of 220 m/s. The heat loss from the steam in the turbine is 120 kJ/kg, compute the steam flow in kg per minute neglecting the effect of elevation.
A site is being considered for wind power generation. At this site, the wind blows steadily at 9 m/s for 2,579 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine the kWh/year that can be produced at the site for a turbine with a mechanical efficiency of 100% and an effective flow area of 5 m2. Use a value of 1.25 kg/m3 for the density of the air. Give your answer in killowatt-hours per year (kWh/year). Hint: I reccomend starting by finding the kinetic energy (kJ/kg) of the wind. Hint 2: Multiply the power generation (kW) by the number of hours of wind per year (h/year) to get kWh/year.
A mini hydro power station takes in 3 cubic meters per second of water from a wide open reservoir through its turbine from an elevation of 15 meters and discharges to its surroundings at 0.50 m/s. During data gathering, the rotational force of the turbine shaft is measured 250 N for a distance of 2 m from its center axis at 2,850 rpm. If the electrical generator is 88% efficient, determine the turbine efficiency and the electrieity output of this station. Show the energy or schematie diagram and label it accordingly.
Consider a turbojet-powered airplane flying at a standard altitude of 4 km. The inlet and exit areas are 0.82 m^2 and 0.45 m^2. The velocity, pressure, and temperature of the exhaust gas are 300 m/s, 230,000 Pa, and 830 K, respectively. Calculate the thrust of the turbojet. Detailed solution pls
Include a free body diagram 4. A hydraulic turbine is used to generate power by using water in a dam. The elevation difference between the free surface stream and the downstream of the dam is 120 m. The water is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 150 kg/s. if the shaft power output from the turbine is 155 KW, the efficiency of the turbine isA.0.77B. 0.88C. 0.80D. 0.85
Q6) (a) 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 a better site is 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 ? = 1.25 kg/m3).
A water jet that leaves a nozzle at 53.24 m/s at a flow rate of 117.37 kg/s is to be used to generate power by striking the buckets located on the perimeter of a wheel. Determine the power generation (kW) potential of this water jet. (Use 2 decimal places for the final answer.)
The Nevada Solar One solar thermal power plant covers a land area of 140 hectares and has an estimated peak output of 64 MW. If the peak solar ﬂ ux reaching the surface of that part of Nevada is about 630 W/m2, what is the net efﬁciency of the power plant? Compare your answer with some of the higher efﬁ ciencies of semiconductor solar cells.
