USING AN ILLUSTRATION OR BLUEPRINT. Create a water wheel which is going to be attached on to an electric generator. As tested on the location where the water wheel is installed, the water wheel rotates at a speed of 100 rpm. On the other hand, your generator requires 500 rpm to produce adequate electricity. What would be the solution in order to transform the rotational speed of the water wheel to useful speeds to be used for the generator provided that with the limited space, you are only required to use 4 wheels at most?

Answer the following questions. Please I really need help. Even if you write something easy, I beg you. pleaseeeeeExplain in your own words how the Battery testing (performance test) is applied to the patient turning apparatus shown in the figure, and guess how the expected result will be. In addition, there are heating pads working with the logic of electric blankets in this apparatus but consider that it works with a battery, not a plug. Please answer by taking these into account when answering.
An eight-cylinder, four-stroke engine of 9 cm bore and 8 cm stroke with a compression ratio of 7 is tested at 4500 rev/min on a dynamometer which has 54 cm arm. During a 10 minutes test the dynamometer scale beam reading was 42 kg and the engine consumed 4.4 kg of gasoline having a calorific value of 44000 kJ/kg. Air at 27°C and 1 bar was supplied to the carburettor at the rate of 6 kg/min. Take R for air = 287 kJ/(kg K). Find:

A compressor that has been in service for 20 years has finally broken down beyond repair, and now must be replaced. The old 180hp machine cost $1200 and its cost index at that time was 144.5. The new machine will be 400hp. How much will the new machine cost, given that today's compressor index is 252.4 and the power-sizing exponent for compressor sizing is 0.32? A: $929 B: $2706 C: $1434 D: $2096 E: $1549
Question 5 The blower requires 20 kW to run at 350 rpm. The power is transmitted by a v-belt shown in Figure 4 from an electric motor. The diameter of the machine pulley is 650 mm and that of the motor pulley is 330 mm. The centre distance between the pulleys is 1.2 m. The contact angle of the belt is 150°. The safe pull in each belt is 900 N and the mass of the belt is 0.46 kg per meter length. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.25. The belt should not exceed the speed of 1 800 m/min. X1 = 16 mm H= 6 mm B X2 = 7 mm Figure 4: Cross sectional view of the v-belt 5.1. Calculate the velocity of the belt in m/s. Determine the length of the belt. Calculate the belt tensions. 5.2. 5.3.
The given picture shows the following parts of a compressor. Please state its functions and discuss how a part works. Note: Do not copy and paste your answer. I need a non plagiarized answer for this one. A unique and thoughtful answer would suffice your answer. Use tables in answering this. Thank you!
Statics and Principles of Moments A seesaw that weights 45lbs and its 5m long is balanced on the fulcrum in the center. 1- Two children are sitting on opposite sides of each other on the seesaw. One child weights 50lbs and is sitting 0.7m on the left side. Where should the other child sit in order to be balanced on the seesaw if they weigh 42lbs? 2- Now, another child wants to sit on the seesaw and weighs 30lbs and is sitting 1.25m in front of them and is closer to the fulcrum. What are the CW and CCW moment of the seesaw now? What is the net moment and direction? 3- Then, a fourth child wants to play on the seesaw and is on the left side of the plank in order to bring the system to equilibrium. How much does the child weigh (Calculate the pounds of force needed in order for rebalance?) 4- Now the fourth child leaves the other three children sitting on the plank. If the three children are sitting in the same potions as they did in part b, the plank would need to move on the seesaw…
