SECTION-B
- A pipeline carrying oil of specific gravity 0.87, changes in diameter from 200 mm at a position A to 500 mm diameter at a position B which is 4 metre at a high level. If the pressure at A and B are 9.81 N/cm² and 5.886 N/cm² respectively and the discharge is 200 litres/s, determine the loss of head.
- The resisting force F of a plane during flight can be considered as dependent upon the length of aircraft, velocity, air viscosity, air density and bulk modulus of air. Express the functionality relationship between these variables and the resisting force using dimensional analysis.
- Discuss the working of Single acting Reciprocating Pump with diagram.
- The internal and external diameter of the impeller of a centrifugal are 200 mm and 400 mm respectively. The pump is running at 1200 rpm. The vane angles of the impeller at inlet and outlet are 20° and 30°. The water enters the impeller radially and velocity of flow is constant. Determine the work done by the impeller per unit weight of water.
- Derive equation to calculate specific speed in turbines.
- Derive Darcy Weisbach Equation.

SECTION-C
- The penstock supplies water from a reservoir to the Pelton Wheel with a gross head of 500 m. One third of the gross head is lost in friction in the penstock. The rate of flow of water through the nozzle fitted at the end of the penstock is 2 m³/s. The angle of deflection of the jet is 165°. Determine the power given by the water to the runner and also hydraulic efficiency of the Pelton wheel by assuming speed ratio 0.45 and Cv = 1.
- Discuss constant efficiency curves of turbines.
