Note: Attempt any five questions (at least two from each section).Each question
carries equal marks.
SECTION A

Q1. Find an expression for the efficiency of a series of moving curved vanes when a jet of
water strikes at one of its tip. Prove that maximum efficiency is when u=V and value of
maximum efficiency is 50%.

Q2. Show that the force exerted by a jet of water on moving inclined plate in the direction of
jet is given by Fx=a(V-u)2sin2.

Q3. A jet of water of diameter 50 mm, having a velocity of 30 m/s strikes a curved vane
which is moving with a velocity of 15 m/s in the direction of jet. The jet leaves the vane at an
angle 600 to the direction of motion of vanes at outlet. Determine: a) Force exerted by the jet
on the vane in the direction of motion. B) Work done per sec by the jet.

Q4. Draw the velocity of: a) Jet strikes on unsymmetrical vane at the tip and b) Jet strikes on
symmetrical vane at the tip.

SECTION B

Q5. Q4. A jet of water having a velocity of 15 m/s strikes a curved vane which is moving
with a velocity of 5 m/s. The vane is symmetrical and deflection angle of jet is 120 0. Find the
angle of the jet at inlet of the vane so that there is no shock. What is the absolute velocity of
the jet at outlet in magnitude and direction and the work done per unit weight of water.

Q6. A jet of water of diameter 40 mm moving with a velocity of 15 m/s impinges on a fixed
curved plate tangentially at one end at an angle of 40 0 to the horizontal. Calculate the
resultant force of the jet on the plate if the jet is deflected through an angle of 60 0. Take g
=10m/s2.

Q7. The water in a jet propelled boat is drawn mid-ship and is discharged at the back with an
absolute vel. of 60m/s. The cross-sectional area at the back is 0.08 m 2 and the boat is moving
in sea water of 60 km/hr.

Determine:

(i) propelling force of the boat, (ii) Power, and (iii) Efficiency.
