Let the velocity, u (m/s), specific heat, cp (kJ/(kg K)), and temperature, T (K), be used to define a dimensionless number given by u2cpaTb. The powers must be a=[Blank-1] and b=[Blank-2].
Important variables in a particular water machine are: Fluid density (ρ), impeller angular velocity (ω), impeller diameter (D), volume flow rate (), fluid viscosity (µ), head (gH). In fact, (gH) shows the energy that the fluid unit mass receives from or gives to the machine, independent of gravitational acceleration (g). Therefore, gH value is used instead of H. Important sizes in terms of the operation of the water machine are power (P), (gH) and efficiency ( h). Derive dimensionless numbers by typing these two parameters based on the above variables and applying Buckingham's p method (repeating variables method).
Consider the following equation. All three of the terms in parentheses are dimensionless groups.

In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)
