Assignment FPE 01 and 02

This document contains two assignments related to hydro power plants and turbo machinery. The first assignment asks students to classify hydro power plants, draw a general layout showing components, and list factors for site selection. It also asks about the purpose of a surge tank and important hydro plants in Gujarat. The second assignment covers topics like the impact of a jet, forces exerted by jets on plates, and derives expressions related to jet propulsion and efficiency. It includes example problems calculating forces from water jets in various scenarios.
