The irreversible losses in the penstock of a hydroelectric dam are estimated to be 7 m. The elevation difference between the res

ervoir surface upstream of the dam and the surface of the water exiting the dam is 140 m. If the flow rate through the turbine is 4000 L/min, determine (a) the power loss due to irreversible head loss, (b) the efficiency of the piping, and (c) the electric power output if the turbine-generator efficiency is 84 percent.

Answer:

a) the power loss due to irreversible head loss is 4.57 kW

b) the efficiency of the piping is 95%

c) the electric power output is 72.9918 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question below;

Irreversible loses h_L = 7m

Total head, H = 140 m

flow rate Q = 4000 L/min = 0.0666 m³/s

Generator efficiency n₀ = 84% = 0.84

we know that density of water is 1000 kg/m³

g = 9.81 m/s²

a) power loss due to irreversible head loss P_L is;    

P_L = p × Q × g × h_L

we substitute

P_L = 1000 × 0.0666 × 9.81 × 7

P_L = 4573.422 W

P_L = 4573.422 / 1000

P_L = 4.57 kW

Therefore, the power loss due to irreversible head loss is 4.57 kW

b) the efficiency of the piping n is;

n = (Actual head / maximum head) × 100

n = (( H - h_L ) / H) × 100

so we substitute

n = (( 140 - 7 ) / 140) × 100

n = (133/140) × 100

n = 0.95 × 100

n = 95%

Therefore, the efficiency of the piping is 95%

c) the electric power output if the turbine-generator efficiency is 84 percent;

n₀ = Power_{outpu / power_{inpu

Power_{outpu = n₀ × power_{inpu

Power_{outpu = n₀ × ( pQg( H - h_L ))

so we substitute

Power_{outpu = 0.84 × ( 1000 × 0.0666 × 9.81( 140 - 7 ))

Power_{outpu = 0.84 × 653.346( 133)

Power_{outpu = 0.84 × 86895.018

Power_{outpu = 72991.815 W

Power_{outpu = 72991.815 / 1000

Power_{outpu = 72.9918 kW

Therefore, the electric power output is 72.9918 kW

Sliva [168]

COmmunication Devices

Explanation:

  • TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet. TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (an intranet or an extranet).

  • The sequence number in a header is used to keep track of which segment out of many this particular segment might be. The next field, the acknowledgment number, is a lot like the sequence number. The acknowledgment number is the number of the next expected segment.

  • The 32 bit sequence number field defines the number assigned to the first byte of data contained in this segment. TCP is a stream transport protocol. To ensure connectivity, each byte to be transmitted is numbered.

Discuss the differences between conduction and convective heat transfer.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Basically there are two principal differences between the convection and conduction heat transfer

Explanation:

The conduction heat transfer is referred to the transfer between two solids due a temperature difference, while for, the convective heat transfer is referred to the transfer between a fluid (liquid or gas) and a solid. Also, they used different coefficients for its calculation.

We can include on the explanation that conduction thermal transfer is due to temperature difference, while convection thermal transfer is due to density difference.

A 3-in-thick slab is 10 in wide and 15 ft long. The thickness of the slab is reduced by 20% and width increases by 3% in a hot-r
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: l = 2142.8575 ft

v = 193.99 ft/min.

Explanation:

Given data:

Thickness of the slab = 3in

Length of the slab = 15ft

Width of the slab = 10in

Speed of the slab = 40ft/min

Solution:

a. After three phase

three phase = (0.2)(0.2)(0.2)(3.0)

= 0.024in.

wf = (1.03)(1.03)(1.03)(10.0)

= 10.927 in.

Using constant volume formula

= (3.0)(10.0)(15 x 15) = (0.024)(10.927)Lf

Lf = (3.0)(10.0)(15 x 15)/(0.024)(10.927)

= 6750 /0.2625

= 25714.28in = 2142.8575 ft

b.

vf = (0.2 x 0.2 x 3.0)(1.03 x 1.03 x 10.0)(40)/(0.024)(10.927)

= (0.12)(424.36)/0.2625

= 50.9232/0.2625

= 193.99 ft/min.

What is the voltage output (in V) of a transformer used for rechargeable flashlight batteries, if its primary has 515 turns, its
kow [346]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

7532V

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a given transformer, the ratio of the number of turns in its primary coil (N_{p}) to the number of turns in its secondary coil (N_{s}) is equal to the ratio of the input voltage (V_{p}) to the output voltage (V_{s}) of the transformer. i.e

\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s}            ----------------(i)

<em>From the question;</em>

N_{p} = number of turns in the primary coil = 8 turns

N_{s} = number of turns in the secondary coil = 515 turns

V_{p} = input voltage = 117V

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

\frac{8}{515} = \frac{117}{V_s}

<em>Solve for </em>V_{s}<em>;</em>

V_{s} = 117 x 515 / 8

V_{s} = 7532V

Therefore, the output voltage (in V) of the transformer is 7532
