MCQ - 119-10586

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 forces are 10 % of energy. How much power is generated by the turbine? (g = 10 ms–2)?

  1. 7.0 kW
  2. 8.1 kW
  3. 10.2 kW
  4. 8.1 kW

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The input power to the turbine is the potential energy due to the water falling per second and is equal to mgh = 15×10×60 =9000 watt.
The power generated by the turbine is 10 % less than the above value and is equal to (9000 – 900) watt = 8100 watt = 8.1 kW.
