Asimplified problem for a hydro plant involves a penstock of length 2500 ft, the velocity of the penstock is 6 ft/sec, the penstock area is 100 ft2, the surge tank area is proposed to be 2000 ft2, and the friction head loss in the pen stock is 3 ft. determine the approximate maximum pressure surge in the surge tank and time from beginning of flow until maximum surge if the gate valve is suddenly closed.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
