Hydroelectric power plants convert the gravitational potential energy of falling water into electrical power, typically by allowing the water to flow through a pipe called a penstock to rotate a generator located below it. Let the bottom of the penstock be the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and the point at which the gravitational potential energy is zero.
a) Consider a penstock that is vertical and has a height of h = 61 m. How long, t in seconds, does it take water to fall from the top of the penstock to the bottom? Assume the water starts at rest.

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.
