Chapter 5: Problem 87 Fluid Mechanics 2
Problem 87P The demand for electric power is usually much higher during the day than it is at night, and utility companies often sell power at night at much lower prices to encourage consumers to use the available power generation capacity and to avoid building new expensive power plants that will be used only a short time during peak periods. Utilities are also willing to purchase power produced during the day from private parties at a high price. Suppose a utility company is selling electric power for $0.03/kWh at night and is willing to pay $0.08/kWh for power produced during the day. To take advantage of this opportunity, an entrepreneur is considering building a large reservoir 50 m above the lake level, pumping water from the lake to the reservoir at night using cheap power, and letting the water flow from the reservoir back to the lake during the day. producing power as the pump-motor operates as a turbine-generator during reverse flow. Preliminary analysis shows that a water flow rate of 2 m3/s can be used in either direction, and the irreversible head loss of the piping system is 4 m. The combined pump-motor and turbine-generator efficiencies are expected to be 75 percent each. Assuming the system operates for 10 h each in the pump and turbine modes during a typical day, determine the potential revenue this pump-turbine system can generate per year.

Chapter : Problem 39 Fluid Mechanics 2
Problem 39P While traveling on a dirt road, the bottom of a car hits a sharp rock and a small hole develops at the bottom of its gas tank. If the height of the gasoline in the tank is 40 cm, determine the initial velocity of the gasoline at the hole. Discuss how the velocity will change with time and how the flow will be affected if the lid of the tank is closed tightly.

Chapter : Problem 82 Fluid Mechanics 2
Problem 82P A large tank is initially filled with water 5 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere. If the total irreversible head loss in the system is 0.3 m, determine the initial discharge velocity of water from the tank. Take the kinetic energy correction factor at the orifice to be 1.2.

Problem 83P Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cmdiameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3/s and exits through a 25-cmdiameter 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. FIGURE P12-65

Chapter : Problem 5 Fluid Mechanics 2
Problem 5P In climates with low night-time temperatures, an energy-efficient way of cooling a house is to install a fan in the ceiling that draws air from the interior of the house and discharges it to a ventilated attic space. Consider a house whose interior air volume is 450 m3. If air in the house is to be exchanged once every 5 minutes, determine (a) the required flow rate of the fan and (b) the average discharge speed of air if the fan diameter is 1.20 m.
