You have a cabin in Great Smoky Mountains far away from civilization and want to install a small hydro generator to provide electricity. A stream runs down a hill behind your cabin where you can construct a simple run-of-river hydro installation. You calculate that the effective head of the installation is 25 feet and that water would flow through the system at a rate of 50 cubic feet per minute. The simple inexpensive hydro turbo-generator (turbine mated with electric generator) that you intend to buy has a working efficiency of 60%. Answer the following (show all of your works):
a. How much power can you generate with this system?
b. How many 100 watt light bulbs can you power with this hydro setup?
c. What type of turbine would you expect to find in your turbo-generator? Why?
d. What is your estimate cost for the system? Please justify your answer
Hint:
First convert to metric measurements
O 1 meter = 3.28 feet
O 1 cubic meter (m^3) = 35.31 cubic feet. (ft^3)

Air enters a horizontal, constant-diameter heating duct operating at steady state at 290 k, 1 bar, with a volumetric flow rate of 0.25 m°/s, and exits at 325 k, 0.95 bar. the flow area is 0.04 m2. assuming the ideal gas model with k = 1.4 for the air, determine (a) the velocity at the inlet and exit, each in m/s, and (c) the rate of heat transfer, in kw flow rate, in kg/s, (b) the mass kg 0.3
