identifuy the limitations that exist within different types of water turbine
A pump, for which the characteristic curve is shown below, is used to pump water from a canal into a dam. The pump is mounted 2.0 m above the water level. There is a 50 mm PVC pipe connected to the suction side of the pump, and a 40 mm PVC pipe connected to the discharge side. The total length of pipe on the suction side is 8 m, and there is a strainer (K = 20), a non-return valve, a 90° elbow and a fully open gate ball valve in the suction line. Another fully open gate valve, and two 90° elbows are mounted in the discharge line. The total length of the discharge line is 60 m, and the discharge pipe outlet is 4 m above the pump. You may assume a water temperature of 25 °C. Determine: (a) The flow rate through the system(b) The required fluid power(c) The efficiency of the pump(d) Whether the pump will cavitate or not.

The average wind speed in a proposed wind farm with a horizontal axis wind turbine (HEWT) is 16.2 m/s. The power coefficient of each wind turbine is estimated at 0.462, and the combined efficiency of the gearbox and generator is 86.2%. When the wind velocity at a speed of 16.2 m/s, calculate the required diameter of the wind turbine (impeller or rotor) for each turbine, as it should produce 2.62 MW of electrical power from each turbine. Find the mass flow rate of the air passing over the wind turbine. Take the density of air 1.162 kg/m3. Since 30 turbines installed in the wind farm and a house in the area have an average electrical power consumption of about 1.62 kW, Calculate how many houses of the power requirement. that can be met? For calculation, take into account an additional efficiency of 96.2% for power transmission losses. Solve the problem by making the necessary assumptions and drawing the schematic figure.
