The town of Dry Gulch needs more water from Pine Creek. The town engineer has selected two plans for comparison: a gravity plan (divert water at a point 10 miles up Pine Creek and pipe it by gravity to the town) and a pumping plan (divert water at a point closer to town). The pumping plant would be built in two stages, with half-capacity installed initially and the other half installed 10 years later. (a) Use an annual cash flow analysis to find which plan is more economical. The analysis will assume a 40-year life, 10% interest, and no salvage value. Initial investment Investment in 10th year Operation and maintenance Power cost Average first 10 years Average next 30 years Gravity Pumping $2,800,000 $1,400,000 None 200,000 10,000/yr 25,000/yr None None 50,000/yr 100,000/yr

A hydroelectric power plant site where the average elevation of the headwater is 565 m, the tailwater elevation is 485 m. The base of the centerline of the turbine nozzle is 10 m above the tailrace and the water flow was determined to be equal to that volume flowing through a rectangular channel 9 m wide and a depth of 1.20 m and an average velocity of 4.6 m/s. If the turbine efficiency is 95%, penstock efficiency is 90%, generator efficiency is 85%. The plant is operated 24 hours a day with a load factor of 0.70 and the utilization factor of 0.75. If the turbine is an impulse turbine, determine; The power output of the turbine. The average annual energy production.
You only know one point on a pump curve, where a water pump produces 20 m of hydraulic head at flow rate of 3.67 L/s, and you want to use this to pump water from a lower tank to an upper tank located 15 m higher. Both tanks are open to the atmosphere. Briefly explain your reasoning, in 1‐2 sentences, for each of the following. a) Should this pump be placed next to the lower tank or the higher one? b) Given the data point you have from the pump curve, will the flow rate be higher or lower than 3.67 L/s if the water is pumped exactly 15 m uphill?
on the island, hydropower is expected to be extracted from a river of the river system via a pipe, 74 m long, to a turbine.During the dry season, from February to May the average daily flow rate of the river is 35 m3s-1 and for the remaining 8 months, the average daily flow rate of the water is 115 m3s-1. Assume, the initial capacity expenditure evaluated on a yearly basis of the run of a river system is $900 000, the annual operating cost is $17 500; and the density of water is 1000 kg ∙m-3.Considering the run of the river system above, determine(i) the energy potential at the source for one year,(ii) the levelized cost of electricity, and(iii) compare the LCOE value and the cost of electricity, and comment on the capital investment.

1Two water pumps are arranged in series. The performance data for both pumps follow the parabolic curve fit Havailable =H0 =aV ^2. For pump 1, H0 =5.30 m and coefficient a =0.0438 m/Lpm^2; for pump 2, H0 =8.70 m and coefficient a =0.0347 m/Lpm^2. In either case, the units ofnet pump head H are m, and the units of capacity V are Lpm.Calculate the combined shutoff head. Complete Answer, thank you

A ship arrives at the mouth of a river in water of density 1016 kg per cu. m with a freeboard of ‘S’ m. She then discharges 150 tonnes of cargo, and proceeds up river to a second port, consuming 14 tonnes of bunkers. When she arrives at the second port the freeboard is again ‘S’ m, the density of the water being 1004 kg per cu. m. Find the ship’s displacement on arrival at the second port. Kindly ahow the step by step solution and careful with the units. Thank you!!!
