A 50 Hz, four pole turbo-generator rated 100 MVA, 11 kV has an inertia constant of 8.0 MJ/MVA. (a) Find the stored energy in the

Mrrafil [318]

Given Information:

Frequency = f = 60 Hz

Complex rated power = G = 100 MVA

Inertia constant = H = 8 MJ/MVA

Mechanical power = Pmech = 80 MW

Electrical power = Pelec = 50 MW

Number of poles = P = 4

No. of cycles = 10

Required Information:

(a) stored energy =?

(b) rotor acceleration =?

Answer:

(a) stored energy = 800 Mj

(b) rotor acceleration = 337.46 elec deg/s²

Explanation:

(a) Calculate the rotor's stored energy at synchronous speed.

The stored energy is represented as

$E = G \times H$

Where G stands for complex rated power and H signifies the inertia constant of the turbo-generator.

$E = 100 \times 8 \\\\E = 800 \: MJ$

(b) If we suddenly increase the mechanical input to 80 MW against an electrical load of 50 MW, we shall find the rotor's acceleration while ignoring mechanical and electrical losses.

The formula for rotor acceleration is given by

$P_a = P_{mech} - P_{elec} = M \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}$

Where M is defined as

$M = \frac{E}{180 \times f}$

$M = \frac{800}{180 \times 50}$

$M = 0.0889 \: MJ \cdot s/ elec \: \: deg$

$P_a = 80 - 50 = 0.0889 \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}$

$30 = 0.0889 \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}$

$\frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} = \frac{30}{0.0889}$

$\frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} = 337.46 \:\: elec \: deg/s^2$

(c) If the acceleration derived in part (b) persists over 10 cycles, we will calculate both the change in torque angle and the rotor speed in revolutions per minute at the end of this duration.

The change in torque angle is expressed as

$\Delta \delta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}\cdot (t)^2$

Where t is determined from

$1 \: cycle = 1/f = 1/50 \\\\10 \: cycles = 10/50 = 0.2 \\\\t = 0.2 \: sec$

Consequently,

$\Delta \delta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 337.46 \cdot (0.2)^2$

$$ \Delta \delta = 6.75 \: elec \: deg$

The change in torque in rpm/s is provided by

$\Delta \delta = \frac{337.46 \cdot 60}{2 \cdot 360\circ }$

$\Delta \delta =28.12 \: \: rpm/s$

The rotor speed in rpm at the culmination of this 10-cycle period is calculated as

$Rotor \: speed = \frac{120 \cdot f}{P} + (\Delta \delta)\cdot t$

Where P indicates the number of poles on the turbo-generator.

$Rotor \: speed = \frac{120 \cdot 50}{4} + (28.12)\cdot 0.2$

$Rotor \: speed = 1500 + 5.62$

$$ Rotor \: speed = 1505.62 \:\: rpm$

The rate of flow of water in a pump installation is 60.6 kg/s. The intake static gage is 1.22 m below the pump centreline and re

mote1985 [299]

Answer:

The power of the pump is 23.09 kW.

Explanation:

Parameters

gravitational constant, $g = 9.81 m/s^2$

mass flow rate, $\dot{m} = 60.6 kg/s$

flow density, $\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$

efficiency of the pump, $\eta = 0.74$

output gauge pressure, $p_o = 344.75 kPa$

input gauge pressure, $p_i = 68.95 kPa$

cross-sectional area of output pipe, $A_o = 0.069 m^2$

cross-sectional area of input pipe, $A_i = 0.093 m^2$

height of discharge, $z_o = 1.22 m - 0.61 m = 0.61 m$ (evaluated at pump’s maximum height of 1.22 m)

input height, $z_i = 0 m$

hydraulic power of the pump, $P =? kW$

Initially, the volumetric flow (Q) needs to be determined

$Q = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho}$

$Q = \frac{60.6 kg/s}{1000 kg/m^3}$

$Q = 0.0606 m^3/s$

Next, compute the velocity (v) for both input and output

$v_o = \frac{Q}{A_o}$

$v_o = \frac{0.0606 m^3/s}{0.069 m^2}$

$v_o = 0.88 m/s$

$v_i = \frac{Q}{A_i}$

$v_i = \frac{0.0606 m^3/s}{0.093 m^2}$

$v_i = 0.65 m/s$

Subsequently, the total head (H) can be calculated

$H = (z_o - z_i) + \frac{v_o^2 - v_i^2}{2 \, g} + \frac{p_o - p_i}{\rho \, g}$

$H = (0.61 m - 0 m) + \frac{{0.88 m/s}^2 - {0.65 m/s}^2}{2 \, 9.81 m/s^2} + \frac{(344.75 Pa-68.95 Pa)\times 10^3}{1000 kg/m^3 \, 9.81 m/s^2}$

$H = 28.74m$

Finally, the computation of pump power is done as follows

$P = \frac{Q \, \rho \, g \, H}{\eta}$

$P = \frac{0.0606 m^3/s \, 1000 kg/m^3 \, 9.81 m/s^2 \, 28.74m}{0.74}$

$P = 23.09 kW$
