The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine-generator. The elevation difference between the free surfaces upstream and downstream of the dam is 165 ft. Water is to be supplied at a rate of 7000 lbm/s. The electrical power generated is measured to be 1546 hp and the generator efficiency of 92%. (1 hp = 550 lbf. ft/s). Determine:
a. the overall efficiency of the turbine-generator.
b. the mechanical efficiency of the turbine.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
