3. Discuss the function and brief description of commonly used surge tanks.
4. A centrifugal pump having impeller diameter of 1 m has backward curved vanes which
make an angle of 25? with the wheel tangent at the blade tip. At the operational speed of
1440 r.p.m, the radial velocity of flow at the tip is 10 m/s and the slip coefficient is 0.85.
Determine
a) Actual work input/ kg of water flow
b) Absolute velocity of fluid at the impeller tip
c) Hydraulic efficiency considering that kinetic energy at the outlet is wasted.
5. Discuss in general the main and operating characteristics of a centrifugal pump.
6. A single acting reciprocating pump has a plunger diameter 20 cm and the stroke length
30 cm. It draws water from a sump 3.5 m below the centre of pump cylinder. Find the
least diameter of suction pipe if it is 6 m long. The pump runs at 50 rpm with simple
harmonic motion and separation occurs at 2.5 m of water absolute pressure. Barometric
pressure = 10.3 m of water.

SECTION-C
7. A reaction turbine works at 450 r.p.m under a heads of 120 m. Its diameter at inlet is
120 cm and the flow area is 0.4 m
2
. The angles made by the absolute and relative
velocities at inlet are 20? and 60? respectively with the tangential velocity. Determine
a) The volume flow rate
b) The hydraulic power developed
c) The efficiency
Assume whirl at outlet to be zero.
8. Explain the function of air vessel fitted to suction and delivery pipes of a reciprocating
pump.
9. Write a note on Hydraulic intensifier.
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.
