QUESTION 1
A jet of freshwater strikes a series of vanes of a turbine at 25° with the direction of
motion and leaves it at 150° absolute with the direction of motion. The absolute inlet
velocity of the jet is 25 m/s and the vanes move at a velocity of 10 m/s. Ignore friction
across the vanes. Calculate:
1.1 the vane inlet angle.
1.2 the vane outlet angle.
1.3 the power/kg of water and,
1.4 the hydraulic efficiency.
QUESTION 2
A pipeline of 50 mm diameter and 4.5 km length connects two reservoirs whose
constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe 1.25 km long and taken from
a point distance of 1.5 km from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C whose water level is
15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter of the branch pipe so that the flow
into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume the coefficient of friction for each pipe,
f = 0.0075, and neglect minor losses.
QUESTION 3
The plunger diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 115 mm and the stroke
is 230 mm.…
A jet of water 75 mm in diameter and moving to the right with a velocity of 25 m/s impinges on a flat plate which is moving in the same direction as the jet with a velocity of 10 m/s. What force would the jet exert on the plate?
