Answer any two questions Question 1 Electrical power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 80 m below the free

surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1500 kg/s. if the mechanical power output of the turbine is 900 kW and the electrical power generation is 850Kw. Determine the turbine efficiency and the combined turbine-generator of this plant. Neglect losses in pipes. Question 2 As shown in the following figure below, 5 kg of steam contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes an expansion from state 1, where the specific internal energy is u1 = 2790.9 kJ/kg, to state 2, where u2 is 2659.6 kJ/kg. During the heat transfer to the system is 80 kJ. Also a paddle wheel transfers 18.5 kJ to steam. The changes in kinetic energy and potential are negligible. Determine the energy transfer from the steam to the piston.

Question 3 The rate of heat transfer between a certain electric motor and its surroundings varies with time as where t is in seconds and Q is in kW. The shaft of the motor rotates at a constant speed of 100 rad/s (about 955 RPM) and applies a constant torque of 18 N.m to an external load. The motor draws a constant electric power input equal to 2.0 kW. Obtain an expression for the time of change of energy of the motor.
