Water flows from one reservoir to another a height, 41 m below. A turbine (η=0.77) generates power from this flow. 1 m3/s passes

through the turbine. If 12 m head loss occurs between the two reservoirs, determine the actual (i.e. useable) power generated by the turbine (in kW).

Complete Question

A diagram representing this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value is P = 294594.3 \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height is  h  =  41 \  m

   The efficiency of the turbine is \eta =  0.77

   The flow rate is \r  V  = 1 m^3 / s

    The head loss is  g =  2 m

Generally the head gain by the turbine is mathematically represented as      

        H  =  h -  d

=>     H  =  41 - 2

=>     H  =  39 \  m

Generally the actual power generated by the turbine is mathematically represented as

          P =  \eta  *\gamma *    \r V * H

Here \gamma is the specific density of water with value

        \gamma   =  9810 N/m^3

So

       P =0.77  *9810 *   1 *  39

       P = 294594.3 \ W

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
