Water at 24°C, 1 bar is drawn from a reservoir 1.25 km above a valley and allowed to flow through a hydraulic turbine-generator into a lake on the valley floor. For operation at steady state, determine the maximum theoretical rate at which electricity is generated, in MW, for a mass flow rate of 110 kg/s.

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

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.

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.
