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

A pulse-jet baghouse is desired for a finished cement plant. Calculate the number of bags required to filter 500 m3/min of air w
omeli [17]

Answer:

1) <em>4.41 * 10^-4 kw </em>

<em>2) </em>2.20 * 10^-4 kw

Explanation:

Given data:

Filter = 500 m^3/min

dust velocity = 3g/m^3

bag ; length = 3 m , diameter = 0.13 m

change in pressure = 1 kPa

efficiency = 60%

<u>1) Calculate the Fan power </u>

First :

Calculate the total dust loading = 3 * 500 = 1500 g

To determine the Fan power we will apply the relation

n_{o}  = \frac{\frac{p}{eg*Q*h} }{1000}    = \frac{\frac{p}{(3*10^{-3})* 981*( 500/60) *3  } }{1000}

<em>fan power ( </em>n_{0} )<em> = 4.41 * 10^-4 kw </em>

<u>2) calculate power drawn </u>

change in P = 6 atm = 6 * 10^5 pa

efficiency compressor = 50%

hence power drawn = 4.41 * 10^-4 kw  * 50% = 2.20 * 10^-4 kw

Atmospheric pressure is measured to be 14.769 psia. a. What would be the equivalent reading of a water barometer (inches of H20)
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) water height =408.66 in.

(b) mercury height=30.04 in.

Explanation:

Given: P=14.769 psi     ( 1 psi= 6894.76 \frac{N}{m^2} )

we know that   P=\rho\times g\timesh

where \rho =Density,g=9.81\frac{m}{s^2}

     h=height.

Given that P=14.769 psi ⇒P= 101828.6 7\dfrac{N}{m^2}

(a) P=\rho_{w}\times g\times h_{w}  

     \rho_{w}=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}

⇒101828.67=1000\times 9.81\times h_{w}

h_{w}=10.38 m

So water barometer will read 408.66 in.            (1 m=39.37 in)

(b)  P=\rho_{hg}\times g\times h_{hg}

     \rho_{hg}=13600

So 101828.67=13600\times 9.81\times h_{hg}

h_{hg}=0.763 m

So mercury barometer will read 30.04 in.

Answer:

Explanation:
One the object is attached the toggle it's placed onto the bolt. The wings should be open in the direction of the bolt head. The toggle is than collapsed and the entire toggle bolt is inserted into the hole in the wall. Once the wings are fully through the opening they will spring open on the other side.

while performing a running compression test how should running compression compare to static compression
algol [13]

Answer:

The idle speed of a running compression should be between 50-75 PSI and that is about half of the static compression.

Explanation:

The Running or Dynamic compression is used to determine how well the cylinder in an engine  is absorbing air, reserving it for the proper length of time, and releasing it to the exhaust. The static or cranking compression test is used to check the sealing of the cylinder. Before performing the running compression test, the static compression test is first performed to rule out other issues like bent valves.

The standard value for the static compression is given by;

Compression ratio * 14.7 = Manufacturers Specification

The running compression should always be half of the static compression.
