    Department of Mechanical Engineering
    1. The mean bucket speed of a Pelton turbine is 14 m/s. The flow rate of water supplied
    by the jet under a head of 45m is 800 lps. If the jet is deflected by the bucket at an angle
    of 165°, find the kW power and the efficiency of the turbine. [Ans. P=346kW,
    ηhyd=98%]
    2. A pelton wheel develops 8000kW under a net head of 125m at a speed of 200rpm.
    Assuming the co-efficient of velocity for the nozzle is 0.98, hydraulic efficiency 85%,
    speed ratio 0.46 and jet diameter to wheel diameter ration 1/8, determine: i) the
    discharge required, ii) the diameter of the wheel, iii)the diameter and number of jets
    required, and iv) the specific speed, mechanical efficiency is 76%. [ Ans.
    Q=10.09m3/sec, D=2.2m, dj=0.27m, n=4jets and Ns=42.8]
    3. Water enters an inward flow turbine at an angle of 22° to the tangent to the outer rim
    and leaves the turbine radially. The speed of the wheel is 300rpm and the velocity of
    flow is constant at 3m/s. Find the necessary angle of the blades when the inner and
    outer diameter of the turbine are 30cm and 60cm respectively. If the width of the wheel
    at inlet is 15cm, calculate the kW power developed. Thickness of the blade may be
    neglected. [β1=123.6°, β2=32.5° P=59kW]
    4. The following data is for a Francis turbine. Net head=58m, speed=700rpm, shaft
    power=400hp, overall efficiency=0.82, hydraulic efficiency=0.92, flow ratio=0.2,
    breadth to diameter ration at inlet=0.1, outer diameter of the runner is 2times the inner
    diameter. The discharge is radial with a velocity of flow to be constant. The thickness
    of vane occupies 5% of circumferential area of the runner. Determine i) guide vane
    angle ii) runner vane angle at inlet and outlet. [ Ans. α1=14.9°, β1=56.9° β2=33°]
    5. A Kaplan turbine operating under a net head of 20m, develops 36775kW power with
    an overall efficiency of 86%. The speed ratio is 2 and flow ratio is 0.6. The hub diameter
    of the wheel is 0.35 times the outside of the wheel. Find the diameter and speed of the
    turbine. [Ans. D=5.2m, d=1.8m, N=147rpm]
    6. A Kaplan turbine works under a head of 10m. The hub diameter is 1/3 rd of the diameter
    of the runner. The turbine runs at 120rpm. The vane angle at the outlet of the extreme
    edge of the runner is 15°. If the flow ratio is 0.65, find a) diameter of the runner and
    hub, b)discharge through the runner, The discharge at the outlet is radial. . [Ans.
    D=5.4m, d=1.8m, Q=185.2m3/sec]

    7. A centrifugal pump has the following dimensions Inlet radius= 80mm, outlet
    radius=160mm, Width of the inlet=50mm, width of the outlet=50mm, Blade angle at
    inlet=0.45 radians, Blade angle at outlet=0.25radians, Assume shockless entry,
    determine the discharge and head developed by the pump when the impeller rotates
    at 90 rad/sec.

    8. The outer diameter of an impeller of a centrifugal pump is 40 cm and outlet width 5


    cm. The pump is running at 800 rpm and is working against a total head of 15 m. The
    vanes angle at the outlet is 40° and the manometric efficiency is 75%. Determine
    Velocity of flow at outlet Velocity of water leaving the vane Angle made by the
    absolute velocity at outlet with the direction of motion at outlet Discharge and Work
    done by the impeller per kg of water
    Ans(a. 4.3 m/s, b. 12.45m/s, c. 20 degree, d. 0.27 m3/sec. e. 196.2 J)

    9. Explain with neat sketch the working principle of Reciprocating pump, Gear pump and
    vane pump.
    10. Explain the performance characteristic curve for turbine and pump.
