- Large hydroturbines achieve overall efficiencies above 95%, while the best efficiency of large pumps is a little more than 90%. Discuss some reasons for this to happen.arrow_forwardA certain centrifugal pump was tested and its performance curves can be approximated as follows: H = 340 - 1.2(Q2), in feet BP = (0.0521Q3) + (1.25Q2) + (11.042Q) + 134.5, in horsepower where Q is in ft3/s. If two of this pump is connected in series to deliver water to a system whose head requirement is 615 ft, what will be the operating discharge rate in ft3/s of either pumps? Assuming the head is equally divided between the two pumps, what is the efficiency of either pumps (in %)? Take the specific weight of water to be 62.4 lbf/ft3.arrow_forwardA pump delivers gasoline at 20 degrees Celsius and 12 (m^3)/h. At the inlet p1=100 kPa, z1=1 m, and V1=2 m/s. At the exit p2=500 kPa, z2=4 m, and V2=3 m/s. How much power is required if the motor efficiency is 75 percent?arrow_forward

A horizontal jet of water issues from a nozzle 7.5 cm diameter under an effective head of 67.5 m and strikes a fixed vertical plate. Find the dynamic thrust on the plate. Take Cv for the nozzle as unity. 2. Same as in Problem No.1, except that the plate is moving parallel to itself at 6 m/s.arrow_forwardA Francis radial-flow hydroturbine is being designed with the following dimensions: r2 = 2.00 m, r1 = 1.42 m, b2 = 0.731 m, and b1 = 2.20 m. The runner rotates at n. = 180 rpm. The wicket gates turn the flow by angle ?2 = 30° from radial at the runner inlet, and the flow at the runner outlet is at angle ?1 = 10° from radial. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 340 m3 /s, and the gross head provided by the dam is Hgross = 90.0 m. For the preliminary design, irreversible losses are neglected. Calculate the turbine specific speed of the turbine. Provide answers in both dimensionless form and in customary U.S. units. Is it in the normal range for a Francis turbine? If not, what type of turbine would be more appropriate?arrow_forward
