    The document contains instructions for a fluid machinery test with 4 questions. Question 1 asks about the advantage of diverting water jets in Pelton wheel buckets and notches in bucket lips. Question 2 provides parameters for a double jet Pelton wheel and asks for calculations of flow rate and nozzle diameter. Question 3 asks about the significance of vane exit angle on pump performance. Question 4 gives original pump parameters and motor speed, asking to calculate discharge, head and power at the new speed assuming constant efficiency.

    II-Class Test, B.E. III YEAR, ME 3656: FLUID MACHINERY

    Note: ATTEMPT ALL QUESTIONS. EACH QUESTION CARRY EQUAL MARKS

    Q1. What is the advantage gained by diverting the water jet on both sides by the splitter in the buckets
    of Pelton wheel? Explain why a notch is made in lips of Pelton turbine buckets.
    Q2. A double jet Pelton wheel operates under 40 m head and develops 735Kw brake power when
    running at 450rpm make calculations for the flow rate and the diameter of the nozzle jet. Assume
    overall efficiency of 85% and coefficient of velocity=0.98
    Q3. Discuss the significance of vane exit angle on pump performance in relation to head and power
    developed
    Q4. A centrifugal pump has been designed to run at 950 rpm delivering 0.4 m3/s against a head of 16
    m. If the pump is to be coupled to a motor of rated speed 1450 rpm. Calculate the discharge, head and
    power input. Assume that the overall efficiency is 0.82 remains constant.
