SECTION-B
2. Derive an expression for force exerted by a jet of water on a fixed vertical plate in the
direction of the plate.
3. A centrifugal pump with impeller diameter 20cm at outlet and width of outlet passage
2cm has swept back blades at 25? to the tangent to the periphery. Calculate the flow rate
and power requirement while operating at 300rpm under the condition of optimum
performance.
4. Define and explain hydraulic efficiency, mechanical efficiency and overall efficiency of a
turbine.
5. What are the factors, which influence the speed of a reciprocating pump?
6. What is cavitation? Deduce expression for Thomas cavitation number.

SECTION-C
7. A Pelton wheel develops 6000 kW shaft power at 200rpm when operating under a head
of 225 m. Overall efficiency of turbine is 85%. Find its unit speed, unit discharge and
unit power. If it is tested at a site having supply head 150m with maximum tachometer
speed available at 200 rpm, then also determine speed, discharge and power of wheel
under changed head.

runner. Can a turbine attain 100% degree of reaction?
9. Write short notes on :
a. Fluid coupling
b. Hydraulic ram
