Power Generation MCQs Part 22

Demand factor is usually

Demand factor is usually:

  1. More than 1
  2. Equal to 1
  3. Less than 1
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 3. Less than 1

Fuel transportation cost is minimum in

Fuel transportation cost is minimum in:

  1. Steam power plant
  2. Diesel power plant
  3. Nuclear power plant
  4. Hydroelectric power plant

Correct answer: 4. Hydroelectric power plant

If Q = discharge in m³/s, η = Overall efficiency of plant, h = head in m and w = density of water in kg/m³ then power output in kW of hydro-power station is equal to

If Q = discharge in m³/s, η = Overall efficiency of plant, h = head in m and w = density of water in kg/m³ then power output in kW of hydro-power station is equal to:

  1. 0.736/75 Qwh η
  2. 0.92/75 Qwh η
  3. 75/0.736 Qwh η
  4. 75/0.92 Qwh η

Correct answer: 1. 0.736/75 Qwh η

Solution:

Power output = m g h η = (Qw) * g * h * η = (Qw) * 9.8 * h * η watts

= {(Qw) * g * h * η}/1000 kW = 0.0098 Qwh η kW = 0.736/75 Qwh η

The power system experiences peak demand from

The power system experiences peak demand from:

  1. Midnight to 8 AM
  2. 6 PM to 10 PM
  3. 2 PM to 5 PM
  4. 8 AM to 2 PM

Correct answer: 2. 6 PM to 10 PM

The majority of generators in thermal power plants run at:

  1. 750 RPM
  2. 1000 RPM
  3. 1500 RPM
  4. 3000 RPM

Correct answer: 4. 3000 RPM
