Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.5 m3/s and exits through a 25-cm-diameter pipe. the pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. for a combined turbine–generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors. take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 and the density of mercury to be 13,560 kg/m3.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Machinery that is a key part of the process and without which the plant or process cannot function is classifed as: (clo4) a)-critical machinery b)-essential machinery c)-general purpose machinery d)-none of the specified options.
