Ariver flows over a waterfall with an elevation difference of 65m. you decide to install a pelton turbine to take advantage of this elevation difference and generate electricity. recall bernouilli's equation between two points connected by a newtonian fluid: (a) you choose to install a 4-inch pipe to carry water down to the turbine. the pipe is straight and has length 80m. estimate the water velocity at the pipe exit before it hits the pelton wheel, ignoring minor losses. hint: here, ht-hm-0. assume a friction factor of f = 0.01 to estimate the major loss il (b) estimate the power produced, in kw, if the pelton turbine has efficiency 88%.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
