Explain stream function and velocity potential. Differentiate between laminar and turbulent flow. Explain geometric, kinematic and dynamic similarities. Find the force exerted by a jet of water of diameter 100mm on a stationary flat plate, when the jet strikes the plate normally with a velocity of 30m/s. What is the purpose of fitting draft tube in a turbine? ‘Compare positive displacement and roto dynamic pumps. Draw the indicator diagram for a reciprocating pump and show the effect of acceleration on it. PARTB (4x 15 +60) Explain (i) Dynamic viscosity (ji) Kinematic viscosity. Give their dimensions. Calculate the pressure due to a column of 0.4m of (i) water (ii) an oil of sp.gr. 0.9 (iii) mercury of sp.gr. 13.6. Take density of water p =1000kg/m? OR Explain Bernoulli’s equation and its limitations. A sub-marine moves horizontally in sea and has its axis 15m below the surface of water. A Pitot-Tube properly placed just in front of the sub-marine and along its axis is connected to the two limps of a U Tube containing mercury. The difference of mercury level found to be 170mm. Find the speed of the sub-marine knowing that the sp.gr, of mercury is 13.6 and that of sea water is 1.026 with respect to fresh water. List the minor head losses in pipe flow. A crude oil of kinematic viscosity 0.4 stoke is flowing through a pipe of diameter 300mm at the rate of 300 litres per seconds. Find the head loss due to friction for a length of 50m of the pipe. OR A ship model of scale 4 is towed through sea water at a speed of Im/s. A force of 2N is required to tow the model. Determine the speed of ship and the propulsive force on the ship if prototype is subjected to wave resistance only. @.T.O)Vi. Vu. Vil. @) ) A jet of water of 2.5cm diameter moving with a velocity 10m/s strikes a hinged square plate of weight 98.1N at the center of the plate. The plate is of uniform thickness. Find the angle through which the plate will swing, OR Explain the speed regulation of turbines. Write note on selection of type and speed of turbines. A centrifugal pump rotating at 1000 rpm delivers 160 litters/second of water against a head of 30m. The pump is installed at a place where atmospheric pressure is 1 x 10° Pa(Abs.) and vapour pressure of water is 3kPa(Abs). The head loss in suction pipe is equivalent to 0.2m of water. Calculate: (minimum NPSH (i) Maximum allowable height of the pump from free surface of water in the sump. OR ‘The cylinder of a single acting reciprocating pump is 1Scm in diameter and 30cm in stroke, The pump is running at 30rpm and discharge water to a height of 12m. The diameter and length of the delivery pipe are 10cm and 30cm respectively. If.a large air vessel is fitted in the delivery pipe at a distance of 2m from the center of the pump, find the pressure head on the cylinder: @ at the beginning of the delivery stroke Gi) ___ inthe middle of the delivery stroke Take t=0.01. ee
