    CHAPTER TEST # 2:

    Answer the following problems below. Determine what is being asked for in the following problems.

    1. A water jet that leaves a nozzle at 60 m/s at a flow rate of 120 kg/s is to be used to generate power
    by striking the buckets located on the perimeter of a wheel. Determine the power generation potential of
    this water jet.

    2. A model aircraft internal-combustion engine produces 10 W of power. How much power is this in (a)
    lbf·ft/s and (b) hp?

    3. Determine the work required to deflect a linear spring with a spring constant of 70 kN/m by 20 cm
    from its rest position.

    4. A man weighing 180 lbf is pushing a cart that weighs 100 lbf with its contents up a ramp that is inclined
    at an angle of 108 from the horizontal. Determine the work needed to move along this ramp a distance
    of 100 ft considering (a) the man and (b) the cart and its contents as the system. Express your answers
    in both lbf·ft and Btu.

    5. Water is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During
    the process, 30 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and 5 kJ of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The
    paddle-wheel work amounts to 500 N ∙ m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial energy is
    10 kJ.

    6. A water pump increases the water pressure from 15 psia to 70 psia. Determine the power input
    required, in hp, to pump 0.8 ft3/s of water. Does the water temperature at the inlet have any significant
    effect on the required flow power?

    7. The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine-
    generator at a location where the depth of the water is 50 m. Water is to be supplied at a rate of 5000
    kg/s. If the electric power generated is measured to be 1862 kW and the generator efficiency is 95
    percent, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the turbine—generator, (b) the mechanical efficiency of
    the turbine, and (c) the shaft power supplied by the turbine to the generator.

    8. At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 7 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per
    unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 80-m-diameter blades at that
    location. Also determine the actual electric power generation assuming an overall efficiency of 30 percent.
    Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3.
