The turbines in hydroelectric plant are feed by water falling from a height of 100ft. assuming 95% efficiency for converting the potential energy to electrical energy and 10% loss of resulting power transmission. how many tons of power per hour are needed to keep a 100watt light bulb burning?

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i.d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.
