(05 Marks) (>) A trapezoidan channel! having a bed of 6 metres and a side slope of 1:1 is discharging water at the rate of 8m’/sec. Calculate the specific energy of the water, if the depth of flow in the channel is 2 metres. (15 Marks) 2. Explain in brief: (a) Uniform flow (05 Marks) (b) Non - uniform flow (05 Marks) (©) Critical flow (05 Marks) (@) Centrifugal pump (05 Marks) 3. (a) What is Reynold’s number? Explain briefly. (05 Marks) (b) The performance of a ship was predicated by making its model and testing it ina wind tunnel. The length of a prototype ship was 350m and its model was 10m long, The Kinematic viscosity of air is 1.25 times that of water. The velocity of air around the model in the wind tunnel was measured as 3Sm/sec. The specific weight of air is 1.235Kg/m’. The experiments showed that the resistance of the model was 50kg. Find (i) The velocity of the actual ship in water, (ii) The resistance of the actual ship in water. (15 Marks)A centrifugal pump delivers water against a net head of 14,5 metres and at a designed speed of 1000 r.p.m. The vanes are curved back at an angle of 30° with the periphery. The impeller diameter is 300mm and the outlet width is 50mm. Determine the discharge of the pump, if manometric efficiency is 95%.
