Introduction
Undertaking this assignment will enable you to understand, establish and apply the principles of Fluid Dynamics in solving engineering problems. It will also allow application of this knowledge through the use of flow analysis software to conduct engineering design analysis. Undertaking this assignment should help you to understand fully the basic principles of Fluid Dynamics in their applications and their effectiveness in computerised programmes; data analysis and the interpolation process and interpretation of numerical
Learning Outcomes
!.
"how in depth understanding and ability to evaluate static fluid systems and viscosity in fluids.
".
"how in depth understanding and ability to evaluate flow of real fluids and hydraulic machines.
The Brief
# small community has approached you and has given you a task to create a working concept of renewable electricity for their area. $hey would like you to design and calculate the possibility of installing one of the hydropower.
Detail
# small community has managed to secure an approval from the council to build a water power generated to supply electricity for their houses.
$he water stream is located near their area with a specification as follow %see figure &
'idth of the stream is (.) metre $he highest part of the stream is *.+ metre from the bottom stream $hen the stream falls &.+ metre to the flat surface $he stream falls again for , meter down $he flow rate is -..( / -.+0 m1s $he water deep is (- cm
Figure &
$he people from community are prepared to be very fle3ible on the design and location of the hydropower and would like you to design the system as a concept.
4our task will be 5onduct a deep research on micro hydro or full hydro 5reate a design concept of the layout and location for the generator
Determine the pipe diameter and location as well 5onduct a research on the turbine shape %6elton, Francis or others7 6erform hand calculations based on the scenario above which then enable you to achieve the power re8uired
5onduct a research on the generator to match with your calculation Draw a sketch to show the overall design
Part
a7 $he most appropriate turbine to be used. b7 5onclusion c7 :ecommendations for the system design to achieve the aim and ob;ectives set
