Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 120 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1900 kg/s steadily. Determine the power generation potential

Respuesta :

Answer:

P = 2234400 Watt

Explanation:

Power generation is given as rate of work done

Here the turbine generator is located at 120 m below the free surface

So here rate of work done is given as rate of potential energy

[tex]Power = \frac{dw}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]Power = \frac{mgh}{t}[/tex]

so we have

[tex]Power = (\frac{dm}{dt})gh[/tex]

now we have

[tex]Power = 1900(9.8)(120) = 2234400 Watt[/tex]

so the power generation potential will be 2234400 Watt
