## JeanetteBaker Group Title A liquid water turbine receives 2 kg/s water at 2000 kPa, 20 C with a velocity of 15 m/s. The exit is at 100 kPa, 20 C, and very low velocity. Find the specific work and the power produced. one year ago one year ago

applying Bernoulli's equation, we have $P_1+{1\over2}\rho v_1^2=P_2+{1\over 2}\rho v_2^2\\ P_1=2000\times10^3{\rm Pa}\\ P_2=100\times10^3{\rm Pa}\\ v_1=15{\rm m/s}\\ v_2=?\\ \text{then,}\\ \text{work done}=\text{change in kinetic energy}\\ W={1\over 2}mv_2^2-{1\over 2}mv_2^2\\ {\rm then,}\\ P={W\over t}$

Whoa. Here's another method without using differential equations The energy equation I found was given by: $$h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gZ_1=h_2\frac{1}{2} V_2^2+gZ_2+w_T$$ $$Z_1 = Z_2$$ and $$V_2=0$$ $$h_1 = 85.82 \frac{kj}{kg}$$ and $$h_2 = 83.94$$ same units. which is at 2.3 kPa so u add $$\Delta PV$$ = $$97.7 \times 10^{-2}$$ plug in everything, you get 1.99 kj/ kg and for $$W_T$$ = $$m \times w_T$$ = 3.985 specific kinetic energy is not relevent here

I did not use a differential eq. what you've got is the same as mine but with divided by the density
