PART -B
11. Derive Hagen Poiseuilles Equation for viscouse fluid in circular pipes.
12.. An U- tube manometer connects two pipes A and B. The pipe contains oil of specific
gravity 1.6 and pressure 120kN/m2. The pipe B contains oil of specific gravity 0.8 and
pressure 220 kN/m2. The centre of the pipe A is 3m above the centre of the pipe B. The
centre of the pipe B is at the level of mercury in the left limb connecting the pipe A. Find
the difference of mercury levels

13. Sketch and explain the workling of centrifugal pump with proper velocity diagram.

reciprocating pump with a neat sketch.
15.A pelton wheel is to be designed for the following specifications:
Power (Brake orShaft) = 9560 KW
Head
= 350 meters
Speed
= 750 rpm
Overall efficiency
= 85%
Jet diameter not to exceed 1/6th of the wheel diameter.
Determine the following:
i.

Wheel diameter

ii.

Diameter of jet wheel

iii.

The Number of Jets recquired. Take Cv = 0.985,Speed ratio = 0.45

16. A Kaplan turbine working under a head of 20 m, develops 12000 kW. The outer
diameter of the runner is 3.5 m and hub diameter is 1.75 m. The guide blade angle at the
extreme edge of the runner is 35o. The hydraulic and overall efficiency of the turbine are
85% and 84% respectively. If the velocity of whirl is Zero at outlet, determine the runner
vane angles at inlet and outlet at the extreme edge of the runner and the speed of the
turbine.
