MAE 241 – Homework 2 Page 1 of 2 MAE 241 – Spring 2019 – Homework 2 Administered 1/18/2019 – Due 11PM, Sunday 1/27/2019 to Gradescope Problem 1 The average water head (vertical height of water column) maintained in Hoover dam reservoir is about 500 ft. Assume water density of 62.43 lb/ft3. a. Determine the maximum pressure at the bottom of reservoir. b. Find the power generation potential of the water at that pressure if the discharge rate is 500×103 ft3/s. Problem 2 The Vestas V164 is one of the largest wind turbines in the world, with diameter of 164 m. If the theoretical limit on the capacity of a wind turbine is 1/3rd of its power generation potential, determine the capacity of the turbine when it is placed in a location where the average wind speed is 10 m/s. Assume air density as 1.25 kg/m3. Problem 3 An automobile has a mass of 1200 kg. What is its kinetic energy, in kJ, relative to the road when traveling at a velocity of 50 km/h? If the vehicle accelerates to 100 km/h, what is the change in kinetic energy, in kJ? Problem 4 A 5 kg brick is dropped from a height of 12 m onto a spring with a spring constant 8 kN/m. If the spring has a unstretched length of 0.5m, find (a) the shortest length the spring will be compressed before recoil, and (b) the final length of spring once the whole system becomes static. Problem 5 A piping installation is used to transport 20 L/s of water from a reservoir (location 1) to a point of use (location 2) 20 meters above. The absolute pressure of water at the inlet of the installation is 110 kPa; the gauge pressure measured right before the point of use is 552 kPa. Determine the power input required, in kW. Assume that because the piping at locations (1) and (2) have the same diameter the average velocities of water are equal and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Problem 6 A system receives 10 MJ in the form of heat in a process and it produced 4 MJ of work. The system velocity changes from 10 m/s to 25 m/s. For a 50 kg mass of the system, determine the change in internal energy of the system. MAE 241 – Homework 2 Page 2 of 2 Problem 7 On a recent energy assessment performed to an industrial facility in Tempe by a team of ASU’s Industrial Assessment Center, the team evaluated a boiler whose rated input was 6 MBTUH (6 million BTU per hour). After measuring the composition of flue gases it was apparent that the boiler was not be operating at its best operating point; this suspicion was validated by determining that the combustion efficiency was equal to 0.65. As corrective measure the boiler received a tune up that increased the combustion efficiency to 0.8. The boiler operates 48 weeks per year continuously while the plant is in production. Taking the cost of energy to be $13 per MBTU, determine: a. The annual energy cost. b. The annual cost savings as a result of tuning up the boiler. c. List the assumptions used in your computations. Problem 8 Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as 𝐹𝑏 = 𝜌𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑔𝑉𝑏𝑎𝑙, will push the balloon upward. (a) If the balloon has a diameter of 15 m and carries eight people, 75 kg each, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released. (b) The change in air density with altitude can be approximated up to 10km using a linear function 𝜌𝑎𝑖𝑟 = 1.173 − 8 × 10−5ℎ where ℎ is the altitude in m. At what theoretical altitude the balloon will stop climbing upwards? Assume the density of air is 1.173 kg/m3 at ground level, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage. Problem 9 A differential manometer is used to measure pressure difference between two fluid systems. Two parallel pipes carrying freshwater and seawater are connected to each other by a double U-tube differential manometer, as shown in Figure. (a) Determine the pressure difference between the two pipelines if ℎ = 10 cm. (b) If the pressure difference between the pipes is doubled, what will be the difference in heights (ℎ) of mercury? Take the density of seawater at that location to be 1035 kg/m3, and the specific gravity of the oil is 0.72. Assume all fluids are incompressible. ## MAE 241 – Homework 2 Page 1 of 2 MAE 241 – Spring 2019 – Homework 2 Administered 1/18/2019 – Due 11PM, Sunday 1/27/2019 to Gradescope Problem 1 The average water head (vertical height of water column) maintained in Hoover dam reservoir is about 500 ft.
