The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine generator at a location where the depth of the water is 50 m. Water is to be supplied at a rate of 5000 kg/s. If the electric power generated is measured to be 1862 kW and the generator efficiency is 95 percent, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the turbine-generator, (b) the mechanical efficiency of the turbine, and (c) the...

Water from a large tank is used to generate electricity by installing a hydraulic turbine- generator at 100 m down from the water surface as shown in Figure QS. The water is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 2000 kg's. If the mechanical power input of the turbine is 1800 kW and the generator efficiency is 80%, determine the percentage reduction of efficiency between generator alone and combination of turbine-generator Consider the water density as 1000 kg/m (7...

Since early Roman days, people have used greenhouses to grow plants—particularly to enjoy fruits and vegetables out of season. But not until the 1990s did greenhouses begin to gain popularity in the United States. The timing couldn’t be better. The amount of farmable land per capita in the world continues to shrink, and over the next 50 years, world population is expected to increase by 3 billion. At the same time, economists estimate the demand for farm products will double....
