One method used to store energy during times of low demand is by pumping water uphill into a reservoir. When energy demand exceeds the output produced by power plants, the water is released, moves downhill, and is converted into electricity by a turbine. During a 165.0 minute long period of low usage, 71.0 MW is used to pump water up an elevation of 74.1 m in a series of 1.00 m diameter pipes. The friction loss in the pipe going to the upper reservoir is 39.5 m2/s2.
a) What is the mass flow rate, M* , of water during the low usage period?
b) What is the total mass of water raised 74.1 m during this 165.0 minute period?
c) How long can the turbines produce 380.0 MW of power from the release of the mass of stored water calculated above? Assume the water sustains a friction loss of 39.5 m2/s2 on the way down to the turbine.
d) What is the efficiency of this process? (Assume that the pump and tubines operate at 100% efficiency, and the only losses are due to frictional losses within the pipes.)
If the graphs of the functions f(x) and g(x) intersect at the point (–5, –6), then {–5} is the solution to the equation f(x) = g(x).
If the coefficient of static friction between the 50-lb roller and the ground is 0.25, determine the max force P that can be applied to the handle, so that the roller rolls on the ground without slipping.
The car was travelling on a 3% upgrade on a pavement with friction factor of 0.30. How much further would the car have skid if it did not strike the concrete barrier?
A hydraulic lift of the type commonly used for greasing automobiles consists of a 10.000-in-diameter ram that slides in a 10.006-in-diameter cylinder, the annular space being filled
A 230,000-lb space shuttle orbiter touches down at about 220 miles per hour (mph). At 200 mph, its drag parachute is deploys. The wheel brakes are applied at 100 mph until wheel sotp and the drag parachute is jettisoned from the orbiter at 35 mph.
