A person with a remote mountain cabin plans to install her own hydroelectric plant. A nearby stream is 3.00 m wide and 0.500 m d

eep. Water flows at 1.35 m/s over the brink of a waterfall 4.20 m high. The manufacturer promises only 25.0% efficiency in converting the potential energy of the water-Earth system into electric energy. Find the power she can generate. (Large-scale hydroelectric plants, with a much larger drop, can be more efficient.)

Answer:

The power she can generate is 185.22 KW.

Explanation:

<h3><u>DATA</u></h3>

3.00m wide and 0.500m deep.

Cross sectional area = 1.500m^2

Velocity = 1.35m/s

Volumetric flow rate = Av = 18.00m^3/s

Mass flow rate = 18,000kg/s

Height = 4.20m

25.0% efficiency

<h3><u> FORMULA:</u></h3>

P = dE / dt * eff

<h3><u>SOLUTION:</u></h3>

18,000kg/s (9.8m/s^2) (4.20m) (25%) = 185,220 watts

= 185 kw

1 A standard transformer has a rating of 60 kVA. The primary and secondary voltages are rated respectively at 600 V and 120 V. (
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The rated current for the 600V side is I = 100 A and the rated current for the 120 V side is 500 A.

Explanation:

For standard transformers they step up or down the level of voltage while maintaning the power output (ideally). So the same power output should be seen on both sides, since the equation for apparent power is P = V*I we can solve for I on both sides and find the rated current. So we have:

600 V side:

P = V*I

I = P/V = (60*10^3)/600 = 100 A

120 V side:

P = V*I = (60*10^3)/120 = 500 A
