The water level in a tank is 12 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at 13 m above the sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the water pressure by 50 kPa. Determine the maximum height above the sea level to which the water stream could rise.
A 15-hp (shaft) pump is used to raise water to a 42-m higher elevation. If the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82%, determine the maximum volume flow of water.
The elevation of the dam is about 110 m above the power plant, and the total irreversible head loss in the piping system is determined to be 25 m. If the electric power output estimated to be 60 MW, determine the efficiency of the turbine–generator.
The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 15-kW electric motor whose efficiency is 90 percent. The water flow rate through the pump is 50 L/s. The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same, and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be 100 kPa and 300 kPa (absolute), respectively, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.
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 is
A 0.75-m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 1.18 kg/m^3. The tank is connected to a high-pressure supply line through a valve. The valve is opened, and the air is allowed to enter the tank until the density in the tank rises to 4.95 kg/m^3. Determine the mass of air that has entered the tank. Answer: 2.83 kg at the nozzle exit. Show the solution
Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3/s and exits through a 25-cm-diameter pipe. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. For a combined turbine– generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors
A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 40-liter bucket. The innerdiameter of the hose is 2cm, and it reduces to 0.8cm at the nozzle exit. If it takes 50 secondsto fill the bucket with water, determine:(a) the volume and mass flow rates of water through the hose, and(b) the average velocity of water at the nozzle exit.
