Sl. No. Questions M BT CO


1. The jet water of diameter 150 mm strikes the buckets of the wheel which is working under a gross 10 L3 CO3
head of 402 m. The water is supplied from a lake to the turbine through a penstock of diameter 0.95
m and length 4000 m. The jet deflection is 165° and its relative velocity is reduced over the buckets
by 15% due to friction inside surface of the bucket and water. Determine (i) the runner power, (ii)
shaft power, (iii) hydraulic efficiency and (iv) overall efficiency. Assume Darcy’s friction factor for
the penstock as 0.036, velocity of buckets as 0.45 times the jet velocity at inlet and mechanical
efficiency as 86%.
2. A Kaplan turbine is to be designed to develop 7.5 MW, the net available head being 6.0 m. The other 10 L4 CO3
relevant data are the following Speed ratio = 2.05, Flow ratio = 0.66, Overall efficiency = 90%,
Hydraulic efficiency = 95% and diameter of hub is 1/3 the diameter of the runner. Calculate (a) the
diameter of the runner, (b) specific speed (c) inlet guide vane angle at the tip of the blades, and (d)
inlet and outlet blade angles at the midradius.
3. a) The head capacity characteristics of a centrifugal pump running at constant speed is given by H 06 L3 CO2
= 30 + 40Q - 750.98Q2 where H is the total head generated in m and Q is the discharge in m3/s.
The pump is required to discharge water through a pipeline 1000 m long and 30 cm diameter.
The static lift is 20 m. Determine the operating head and discharge rate of the pump. Also
determine the power required to drive the pump if it has an overall efficiency of 76% for the
particular operating point. Neglect velocity head and take pipe friction coefficient as f = 0.002.
b) A centrifugal pump has diameters at the outlet and inlet as 0.5 m and 0.25 m, respectively. The
vanes outlet angle is 45°. If the velocity of flow at the outlet is 2.5 m/s and the manometric 04 L2 CO2
efficiency of the pump is 75%, then determine its minimum starting speed.
4. Two Francis turbines have the same diameter of 0.70 m and the same efficiency. Both the runners 10 L4 C03
work under the same head and they have the same velocity of flow of 5.8 m/s. One of the runners (A)
revolves at a speed of 500 rpm and the inlet blade angle is 65°. If the other runner (B) has an inlet
blade angle of 115° and the head developed is the same as that of the turbine A, what is its speed?
5. An impeller of a centrifugal pump with an eye radius of 51 mm and an outside diameter of 406 mm 10 L4 CO2
rotates at 900 rpm. The inlet and outlet blade angles measured from the radial flow directions are 75 0
and 830 respectively, while the depth of blade is 64 mm.
Assume zero inlet whirl and an hydraulic efficiency of 0.89. Determine
i) Volume flow rate through the impeller
ii) Stagnation and static pressure rise across the rotor
iii) Power transferred to the fluid
iv) Input power to the impeller
