A hydraulic turbine-generator unit placed at the bottom of a 75-m-high dam accepts water at a rate of 1020 L/s and produces 630

kWof electricity. Determine A) the overall efficiency of the turbine-generator unit and B) the turbine efficiency if the generator efficiency is 96 percent, and C) the power losses due to inefficiencies in the turbine and generator.

Answer:

A. Overall efficiency =83.95%

B. 87.45%

C.120.465kw

Explanation:

H=75m

Flow rate= 120L/s=1.02m^2/s

Po=Output power= 630kw

As power input Pi= Total power available

=gQH/1000

Where

g=9.81

Q=120L/s=1.02m^2/s

H=75m

= (9.81m/s^2 × 1.02m^2/s×75m)/1000

750.465kw

A. Overall efficiency of generator turbine unit (Po/Pi)

= Output power/ power input

= 630/750.465= 0.8395

Overall efficiency of the unit= 0.8395 × 100

=83.95%

B. Turbine efficiency if generator efficiency is 96%

no × nt= 0.96

nT= 87.45%

C. Power losses= Power input - Power output

Pi - Po

=750.465- 630

=120.465kw

Power losses due to inefficiencies in turbine of the generator is 120.465kw

Explain the differences between 1- Energy 2- Power 3- Work 4- Heat Your answer should explain the mathematica and physical meani
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy : Energy can be defined as both qualitative and quantitative property that can be given to an object in the form of work or heat.

For example - water stored in a tank at a height,h from the ground has a potential energy of U = ρgh.

Mathematically, Energy of water stored in a tank is

                      U = ρ.g.h

where, ρ is  water density

            g is acceleration due to gravity

            h is height of water tank from ground

Power : Power is defined as rate at which work can be done.

For example - When a force F is applied to an object to move it through a distance d in time t seconds is an example of power delivered.

Mathematically, Power = Work done / Time

                         P = \frac{F\times  d}{t}

                                P = \frac{W}{t}

Work : When a force act on a body and the body moves, work is said to be done.

For example - Gas confined in a cylinder by a piston. The gas expands when it is heated, doing work on the piston.

Mathematically, Work,W = F X d

where, F is force

            d is distance

Heat : Heat is a form of energy which is produced as a result of motion of atoms and particles.

For example - while increasing the temperature of water, heat is added to the water by means of gas burner or any other form.

Mathematically we can calculate heat release or heat absorb by

    q = m.C.ΔT

where q is heat

           m is mass

           C is specific heat capacity

           ΔT is change in temperature

Define coordination number. How does this differ from atomic packing factor?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Coordination number:

        Coordination number can be defined as the number of nearest atoms which touch the central atom.In simple word the number of neighbours atoms which touches a an atoms.

Atomic packing factor :

It is also known as packing efficiency.It is the fraction of volume in a Crystal which is filled by constituent particles.It is always less than 1.Generally it is represented in the fraction.

Ex:

Lets take FCC cubic cell

Coordination number = 12 .

Atomic packing factor = 74%

What are the characteristic features of stress corrosion cracks?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer and Explanation:

The crack formation growth that takes place in an environment corrosive.

Stress corrosion cracks can be defined as the spontaneous failures of the metal alloy as a result of the combined action of corrosion and high tensile stress.

Some of the characteristic features of stress corrosion cracks are:

  • These occur at high temperatures.
  • Occurrence of failures in metals mechanically.
  • Occurrence of sudden and unexpected failures under tensile stress.
  • The rate of work hardening of the metal alloy is high.
  • Time
  • An environment that is specific for stress corrosion cracking.

Would be much appreciated if someone could help with this will give brainiest.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:   both mm and inches on each dimension in a sketch (with the main dimension in one format and the other in brackets below it), in the way you can have dual dimensions shown when detailing an idw view.

personally think it would look a mess/cluttered with even more text all over the sketch environment, but everyone's differenent.

If it's any help - you know you can enter dimensions in either format?  If you're working in mm you can still dimension a line and type "2in" and vice-versa.  Probably know this already, but no harm saying it, just in case.

You can enter the units directly in or mm and Inventor will convert to current document settings (which  you can change - maybe someone can come up with a simple toggle icon to toggle the document settings).  Tools>Document Settings>Units

Unlike SolidWorks when you edit the dimension the original entry shows in the dialog box so it makes it easy to keep track of different units even if they aren't always displayed.  (SWx does the conversion or equation and then that is what you get.)

I work quite a bit in inch and metric and combination (ex metric frame motor on inch machine) and it doesn't seem to be a real difficulty to me.
