If V1 and V2 are the velocities of water at inlet and outlet
of the draft tube respectively, then the
• cy of a draft tube is
(a) V1 —V2 vi
(b) Vi2 — V22v-2 (c) Y —
If (d)
2 vi2- v2 2
47. Which of the following statement is correct ?
(a) In an impulse turbine, the water impinges on the buckets
with pressure energy.
(b) In a reaction turbine, the water glides over the moving
vanes with kinetic energy.
(c) In an impulse turbine, the pressure of the flowing water
remains unchanged and is equal
to atmospheric pressure.
(d) In a reaction turbine, the pressure of the flowing water
increases after gliding over the
vanes.
48, In an inward flow reaction turbine
(a) the water flows parallel to the axis of the wheel
(b) the water enters at the centre of the wheel and then flows
towards the outer periphery of
the wheel
(c) the water enters the wheel at the outer periphery and then
flows towards the centre of the
wheel
(d) the flow of water is partly radial and partly axial
49. In an axial flow reaction turbine, the water flows
to the axis of the wheel.
(a) parallel
(b) perpendicular
50. In an outward flow reaction turbine
(a) the water flows parallel to the axis of the wheel
(b) the water enters at the centre of the wheel and then flows
towards the outer periphery of
the wheel
(c) the water enters the wheel at the outer periphery and then
flows towards the centre of the
wheel
(d) the flow of water is partly radial and partly axial
51. In a mixed flow reaction turbine, the flow of water is partly radial and
partly axial.
(a) Correct
(b) Incorrect
52. The hydraulic efficiency of a reaction turbine, is the ratio of
(a) power produced by the turbine to the energy actually
supplied by the turbine
(b) actual work available at the turbine to energy imparted to
the wheel
(c) workdone on the wheel to the energy (or head of water)
actually supplied to the turbine
(d) none of the above
53. The ratio of actual work available at the turbine to the energy imparted to
the wheel is known
as efficiency.
(a) hydraulic
(b) mechanical (c)
overall
54. A Francis turbine is an outward flow reaction turbine.
(a) True
(b) False
