A one-fifth scale model of a water turbine is tested in a laboratory at T = 20°C. The diameter of the model is 8.0 cm, its volume flow rate is 17.0 m3 /h, it spins at 1500 rpm, and it operates with a net head of 15.0 m. At its best efficiency point, it delivers 450 W of shaft power. Calculate the efficiency of the model turbine. What is the most likely kind of turbine being tested?
A certain SSSF control volume with a single inflow and outflow
and has an inflow speed V₁ = 200 meters / sec and outflow speed Ve = 1000
meters / sec, with a mass-flow-rate m(dot) = 5 kg/ sec. Find the time rate of
change of the kinetic energy between the outflow and inflow streams in kW
(units must be correct).
In this question, assume the "additional displacement" is in the positive u direction.
A mass weighing 16 lbs stretches a spring 8 inches. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance
of 1 lbs when the mass has a velocity of 2 ft/sec.
Suppose the object is displaced an additional 5 inches and released.
Find an equation for the object's displacement, u(t), in feet after t seconds.
