A hydropower facility is being planned for construction 5 miles southwest of the town of Winnemucca, Nevada. The water surface of the Lahontan Reservoir will average 75 meters above the tailrace with a riveted steel penstock 300 meters long and a diameter of 1.7 meters. With an average water temperature of 20C, the flow rate provided by the penstock is to be 16m3/s with a combined head loss in the turbine, located slightly more than 3 meters above the tailrace, and draft tube of 2.0 meters and an average velocity in the tailrace of 0.5 m/s. Your role in the planning process is to determine the effective head that will be supplied to the turbine and the amount of power that can be extracted from the system.

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2
