Marks

01. (a) Derive an expression for the force of jet of water striking on the
following plates.
(i) Fixed plate (ii) Moving plate

[06]

(b) A jet of water 40mm diameter exerts a fixed curved vane with a velocity of 50m/s
at an angle of 20o to the horizontal .Find the normal and tangential force exerted
by the jet , if it leaves the vane at an angle of 15o to the horizontal.
[10]
02.

What is the function of nozzle? Discuss Convergent-Divergent nozzle flow. Drive


an expression for the velocity of flow and power required. Also show that the
frictional horse power hf=H/3.
[16]

03. (a) Discuss in detail about the water wheel with their nomenclature.

[08]

(b) Draw the velocity triangles for Pelton wheel and estimate the work done
and efficiency.
04.

[08]

An inward flow reaction turbine has an external diameter of 1m and its breadth at
inlet is 250mm. if the velocity of flow at inlet is 2m/s , find the weight of water
passing through the turbine per second .Assume 10% of the area of the flow is
blocked by blade thickness. If the speed of the runner is the 210 r.p.m. and guide
blades makes an angle of 10o to the wheel to the wheel tangent, draw inlet velocity
triangle and find:
[16]
1. The runner vane angle at inlet
2. The velocity of wheel at inlet
3. The absolute velocity of water leaving the guide angle and
4. The relative velocity of water entering the runner blade.

05. (a) What is a Pump? Derive relation for the work done by centrifugal pump with
neat drawing.
[08]
(b) The impeller of a centrifugal pump is having external and internal diameters
500mm&200mm respectively, width at outlet 50mmand running at 1200rpm
works against a head of 48m. The velocity of flow through the impeller is
constant and equal to 3m/s. The vanes are setback at an angle on 40 o at outlet.
Determine :
[08]
Inlet vane angle
W.D by the impeller on the water per second
Manometric efficiency
Contd on P/-2

(-2-)
06.

What is the effect of acceleration of the piston o the velocity and acceleration of
the water in suction and delivery pipes of reciprocating pumps? Obtain an
expression for the pressure head due to acceleration in the suction and delivery
pipes of reciprocating pumps.
[16]

07.

Define Hydraulic system and its types; explain with the help of neat sketch
the construction, operation and utility of hydraulic intensifier and hydraulic
press.
[16]

08.

Write short note on any three of the following:


1. Hydraulic Torque converter
2. Laminar and Turbulent boundary layer.
3. Hydraulic coupling
4. Type of flow
5. Water hamming in pipes.
