INTERNAL TEST – I, JANUARY 2011
CE 2253 APPLIED HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING
Degree/Dept/Sem: BE/Civil/IV Duration: 1 hr 30 min
Date: .01.11 Max Marks: 50
Part A (Answer all the questions) 7×2=14
1. Define impulse turbine.
2. What is meant by inward & outward radial flow turbine?
3. Draw a velocity diagram of Pelton Wheel.
4. Define centrifugal pump and mention its parts.
5. Write definitions of heads & efficiency of centrifugal pump?
6. Write the design aspects of pelton wheel?
7. Define Slip & negative slip of reciprocating pump.
Part B (Answer any Three) 3×12=36
8. Determine the power given by the jet of water to the runner of a
pelton wheel which is having tangential velocity as 20 m/s. The net
head on the turbine is 50m & discharge through the jet of water is
0.03m3/s. The side Clearance angle is 150 & take Cv=0.975
9. A centrifugal pump delivers water against a net head of 14.5m and
a design speed of 1000 rpm. The vanes are curved back to an angle
of 300 with the periphery. The impeller diameter is 300mm &
outlet width 50mm. Determine the discharge of the pump if
manometric efficiency is 95%
10. A kaplan turbine develops 24647.6 KW power at on average head
of 39m. Assuming a speed ratio of 2, flow ratio of 0.6, diameter
of the boss equal to 0.35 times the diameter of the runner and an
overall efficiency of 90%, calculate the diameter, speed & Ns.
11. An outward flow reaction turbine has internal and external
diameters of the runner as 0.6m and 1.2m resp. The guide blade
angle is 150 and velocity of the flow through the runner is constant
and is equal to 4m/s. If the speed of the turbine is 200rpm, head on
the turbine is 10m & discharge at outlet is radial. Determine the
runner vane angles at inlet & outlet, workdone by the water on the
runner per second and hydraulic efficiency.
12. A double acting reciprocating pump, running at 40rpm is
discharging 1m3 of water per min. The pump has a stroke of
400mm. The diameter of the piston is 200mm. The delivery &
suction heads are 20m & 5m resp. Find the slip of the pump &
power required to drive the pump.
