Module 6 Exercises Problem No. 4

The document provides two sample engineering problems involving power and industrial plant calculations. The first problem involves calculating the annual energy produced in kW-hr from a water channel given its dimensions, flow velocity, head, and overall efficiency. The second problem involves calculating the engine-generator fuel rate in kg/kW-hr for a diesel generating set given its power output, fuel type, fuel rate for a specific power output, generator efficiency, and mechanical efficiency. Both problems show the relevant equations, values provided, values calculated, and final answers.

Problems:

1. A 4m x 0.5m channel has water velocity of 5 m/s. If the head is 110m, what is the
annual energy produced in kW- hr if over- all efficiency is 72%?
a. 63,879,300 b. 60,798,528 c. 68,060,995 d. 60, 154,920

Given:

2. A 3000 - kW diesel generating set which is using a 25 deg API fuel has the
following data: fuel rate, 290 liters for 900 kW-hr; generator efficiency is 92%;
and mechanical efficiency is 82%. Calculate the engine-generator fuel rate in kg/
kW-hr.
a. 0.2916 b. 0.4587 c. 0.3567 d. 0.9857

Given:
P=3000 k W
° API =25
V =290 L
Pg =900 k W −hr
η g=92 %
ηm =82 %

Required:
