SECTION-B
2. A 3.6m wide rectangular channel carries water to a depth of 1.8m. In order to measure
the discharge, the channel width is reduced to 2.4m and a hump of 0.3m height is
provided in the bottom. Calculate the discharge if water surface in the contracted section
drops by 0.15m. Assume no losses.
3. Two reservoirs are connected by a pipe which is 150 mm in diameter for the .first 10 m
and 250 mm in diameter for the remaining 15 m. The water surface in the upper reservoir
is 7.5 m above that in the lower reservoir. Calculate the flow rate through pipe and draw
HGL and TEL. Take friction factor as 0.04 for both the pipes
4. Derive Euler?s equation of motion for flow along a stream line. What are the assumptions
involved?
5. A power transmission pipe 10 cm diameter and 500 m long is fitted with a nozzle at the
exit, the inlet is from a river with water level 60 m above the discharge nozzle.
Assume f = 0.02, calculate the maximum power which can be transmitted and the
diameter of nozzle required.
6. Define Cavitation and discuss its causes, effects and prevention.
SECTION-C
7. A Francis turbine with an overall efficiency of 76% and hydraulic efficiency of 80% is
required to produce 150 kW. It is working under a head of 8 m. The peripheral velocity is
0.25 ?2gH and radial velocity of flow at inlet is 0.95 ? 2gH. The wheel runs at 150 rpm :
Assuming radial discharge, determine :
a) Flow velocity at outlet
b) The wheel angle at inlet
c) Diameter and width of the wheel at inlet.
8. Using Buckingham?s ?-theorem, show that the velocity through a circular orifice in a
pipe is given by v = ?(2gH) f {d/H, ?/ ?vH} where v is the velocity through orifice of
diameter d and H is the head causing the flow and ? and ? are the density and dynamic
viscosity of the fluid passing through the orifice and g is acceleration due to gravity.
9. The velocity distribution in the boundary layer is given by u/U = y/ ?. where u is the
velocity at a distance y from the plate u = U at y = ?, ? being boundary layer thickness.
Find the displacement thickness, momentum thickness and energy thickness.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
