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
An inverted 3-m-high conical container is initially filled with 2-m-high water. At time t = 0, a faucet is opened to supply water into the container at a rate of 3 L/s. At the same time, a 4-cm-diameter hole with a discharge coefficient of 0.90 at the bottom of the container is opened. Determine how long it will take for the water level in the tank to drop to 1-m.
A 3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. The total irreversible head loss of the system is determined to be 1.5 m. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors. Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of the tank height on the initial discharge velocity of water from the completely filled tank. Let the tank height vary from 2 to 15 m in increments of 1 m, and assume the irreversible head loss to remain constant. Tabulate and plot the results.
