Civil Engineering Questions & Answers

  Determine what is the change in head across the turbine

A 0.9 efficient Francis turbine produces 200 MW with a speed of 150 rpm. The blade height is 1.0 m, and the inlet radius of the rotor is 7.0 m. The flow exits the turbine in a radial direction.

  Determine the rate of work done by the fan

standard air is drawn from the atmosphere into a 1.25 m diameter cylindrical duct by a fan mounted inside the duct. This air is discharged down stream from the fan through a 0.6 m diameter duct at a velocity of 25 m/s and atmosphere pressure.

  What is the current draw of the motor during the operation

The motor has an efficiency of 80%. It operates at 240V AC. A 12" diameter drum is attached to the gearbox output shaft, and a wire rope is wrapped around the drum to act as a winch. The winch is used to raise bucket of raw material in a factory.
