3. A spillway model is to be built to a geometrically similar scale of 1/50 across a flume of
60 cm width. The prototype is 15 metres high and the maximum head on it is expected to
be 1.5metres.
a) What height of model and what head on the model should be used?
d
b) If the flow over the model at a particular head is 12 litres per second, what flow per
meter length of the prototype is expected? [8+7]

4. For laminar flow in a pipe the drop in pressure  p is a function of the pipe length L, its
diameter D, mean velocity of flow V and the dynamic viscosity  . Using Raleigh’s
method, develop an expression for  p. [15]

5.a) Derive the equation for the force of impact of a fluid jet on a normal flat vane moving in
7-
the direction of jet and the vane velocity is less than jet velocity.
b) A horizontal jet of water of 5 cm diameter and velocity 40 m/s is deflected through an
angle of 1350 by a stationary curved vane. Assuming shockless and frictionless flow,
21
determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the vane. [8+7]

6.a) A jet of water moves smoothly over the surface of a curved vane. Analyse the forces
acting on the vane and determine the resultant force in magnitude and direction. Assume
AM
shock less flow at entry and exit.
b) A jet of diameter 150mm strikes a flat plate normally with a velocity of 20m/sec. The
plate is moving with a velocity of 5m/sec in the direction of the jet and away from the jet.
Find: i) The force exerted by the jet on the plate ii) Work done by the jet on the plate per
second. [8+7]

7. Draw a neat diagram of Kaplan turbine and explain its working. State important
equations. [15]

8. A centrifugal pump has diameter of 50 cm and 25 cm. The speed is 1200 rpm. The
impeller vanes are set back at an angle of 300 to the outer rim. The width at outlet is
1.8 cm. Manometric efficiency is 72%. The constant velocity of flow through the
impeller is 2m/s. Determine the vane angle at inlet, work done by the impeller per
second per unit weight of water. [15]
