Question

The pump-turbine system in Figure 4 draws the water from the upper reservoir in the daytime to produce power for a city. At night, it pumps water from lower to upper reservoir to restore the situation. For the design flow rate of 0.157m3/s, the friction head loss, hL=4vA2/(2g).

  1. Determine the jet velocity at A.
  2. Find the friction head loss in the system.
  3. Estimate the energy head in meters delivered by the pump at night.
  4. Estimate the power in kW delivered by the pump at night.
  5. Estimate the power in kW extracted for the city usage by the turbine during the day.
