A turbine develops 10 mW under a head of 2m at 135 rmp. What is the specific speed ? What would be its normal speed and output under head of 20m ? Explain with neat schematic — operations of framer’s turb ; advantages ?Gi) 6. (i) (ii) 7. @) power plant the capacity of power plant 16 g0 mW and annual load factor is 0-50. Estimate : (a) Average load on Power Plant (b) The energy supplied/year (c) Demand factor (d) Diversity factor. What is straight line method of determining the depreciation charge ? Explain with example. The fixed costs of thermal solution are Rs. 2,700 per kW of installed capacity/yr. The fuel and operating costs are 40 paise per kWh generated. Find the cost of electrical energy per kWh at station load factor of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. } Explain the principle of economic s Define : ; (a) Approach (b) Rangej (ii) Each fission of U-235 yields 190 MeV of useful energy. Assuming that 85% of neutrons absorbed by U-235 cause fission, the rest being absorbed by non-fission capture to produce an isotope U-236, estimate the fuel consumption of U-235 per day to produce 3000 MW of thermal power. _— 8.
