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

Voltage drop testing is being discussed.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

Voltage drop testing is a method used to find the amount of electrical resistance available in an high amperage circuit that involves connecting the leads of the meter in parallel to the circuits being tested such that disassembly is not required

In voltage drop test, the red voltmeter lead and black voltmeter lead are placed at two points on the same side of the circuit connection such that the leads are in between two positive connection or two negative connection (rather than connecting the red to the positive and the black to the negative sides of the circuit) and digital voltmeter is used for the voltage drop measurement across the lead while the connection is under load.

Therefore, Technician B only is correct

Find the number of Btu conducted through a wall in 8 hours. The wall is 8 feet high by 24 feet long and has a total R-value of 1
dedylja [7]

Answer:

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Explanation:

given data

height h = 8ft

Δt = 8  hours

length L = 24 feet

R value = 16.2 hr⋅°F⋅ft² /Btu

inside temperature t1 = 68°F

outside temperature t2 = 16°F

to find out

number of Btu conducted

solution

we get here number of Btu conducted by this expression that s

\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} =\frac{-A}{R} (t2 -t1)     ......................1

here A is area that is = h × L = 8 × 24 = 1492 ft²

put here value we get

\frac{\Delta Q}{8} =\frac{-192}{16.2} (16-68)

solve it we get

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Which of the following is/are FALSE about refining aluminum from the ore state (mark all that apply) a)- A blast furnace is used
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The options a)- A blast furnace is used and d)-Coke is used to produce the heat are FALSE.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a chemical element and the most abundant metal present in the Earth's crust. An aluminium ore is called bauxite. Aluminium is extracted from its ore by the process of electrolysis, called the Hall–Héroult process. The extraction of aluminium is an expensive process as it requires large amount of electricity. The bauxite is purified to produce aluminium oxide. Then, aluminium is extracted from the aluminium oxide.

<u>Therefore, the refining of aluminum from its ore does not involve the use of a blast furnace and coke to produce heat.</u>
