Imagine a solar electric power plant that operates by using a gigantic mirror to concentrate light on the boiler for a steam engine. Assume that the boiler generates steam at a temperature of 515oC. The only possibility for a cold-temperature reservoir is a nearby creek that has an average width of 8 m and an average depth of 0.7 m, flowing at a rate of 0.6 m / s. What is the maximum electric power ( in MW ) that could be produced by the plant if it boils the entire creek dry? Assume the stream is at atemperature of 20oC and all heat is transferred to the stream at 100oC.The maximum electric power that could be produced by the plant is______ MW.
In our country, using natural resources, it is desired to generate electricity by placing a turbine between two water sources. The tangential velocity to the impeller of this turbine is calculated by the formula u = kuLaTeX: \ sqrt {2gHo} 2gHo. Here; The tangential velocity coefficient can be taken as ku = 0.46 ± 0.02, the head which represents the net energy in the turbine as H0 = 650 ± 5% m and the gravitational acceleration as 9.81 m / s2. Find the tangential velocity and the percentage error at that velocity.

The capital cost of a hydro-power station of 50 MW capacity is Rs 1,000 per kW. The annual depreciation charges are 10% of the capital cost. A royalty of Re 1 per kW per year and Re 0·01 per kWh generated is to be paid for using the river water for generation of power. The maximum demand on the power station is 40 MW and annual load factor is 60%. Annual cost of salaries, maintenance charges etc. is Rs 7, 00,000. If 20% of this expense is also chargeable as fixed charges, calculate the generation cost in two part form.
