Work Energy And Power Question 293

Question: Water falls from a height of 60 m at the rate of 15 kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of energy. How much power is generated by the turbine? (g=10m/s2)

Options:

A) 8.1 k W

B) 10.2 kW

C) 12.3 k W

D) 7.0 kW

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Given, h=60m,g=10ms2,

Rate of flow of water = 15 kg/s

Power of the falling water =15kgs1×10ms2×60m=900watt.

Loss in energy due to friction =9000×10100=900watt.

Power generated by the turbine =(9000900)watt=8100watt=8.1kW
