* PART—B 8×5=40
Instructions : (1) Answer all questions.

(2) Each question carries eight marks.
(3) Answers should be comprehensive and criterion for
valuation is the content but not the length of the answer.
11. (a) Explain the working of differential U-tube manometer with a neat
sketch and derive the expression for pressure head.
(OR)
(b) A simple U-tube manometer containing mercury is connected to

a pipe in which a fluid of specific gravity 0.8 and having vacuum
pressure is flowing. The other end of the manometer is open to
atmosphere. Find the vacuum pressure in pipe, if the difference
of mercury level in the two limbs is 40 cm and the height of fluid
in the left from the centre of pipe is 15 cm below.
12. (a) A pipe 200 m long slopes down at 1 in 100 and tapers from 600 mm
diameter at the higher end to 300 mm diameter at the lower end
and carries 100 litres/sec of oil (sp.gr. 0.8). If the pressure gauge at
the higher end reads 60 kN/m2, determine velocities at two ends
and pressure at the lower end. Neglect all losses.
(OR)
(b) A venturimeter has inlet to throat area of 8 : 1. The pipe diameter

is 300 mm. During the flow, the pressure head recorded at inlet
is 7.5 metres and that at the throat is 4 metres. If the coefficient
of discharge is 0.99, calculate the discharge through the
* venturimeter.
13. (a) Two reservoirs are connected by a 5000 m long and 1.5 m diameter
CI pipe with f = 0.01. The difference in water levels in two reservoirs
is 25 metres. Determine the increase in discharge, if the CI pipe is
replaced with a smooth steel pipe of same size with f = 0.005.
(OR)
(b) Find the maximum power that can be transmitted to a power station
through a hydraulic pipe 3km long and 20 cm diameter, when the
pressure at the power station is 600 kN/m2. Take f = 0.0075.

14. (a) A jet of water
* 20 mm in diameter, moving with a velocity of 10 m/sec,
strikes on a series of vanes moving with a velocity of 3 m/sec. Find
(i) force exerted by jet, (ii) work done/sec and (iii) efficiency of the jet.
(OR)
(b) Explain the working of a single acting reciprocating pump with a

neat sketch.
15. (a) Explain hydraulic system with a neat sketch.
(OR)
(b) Explain (i) open loop system and (ii) closed loop system.
PART—C 10×1=10
Instructions : (1) Answer the following question.

(2) The question carries ten marks.
(3) Answer should be comprehensive and the criterion for
valuation is the content but not the length of the answer.
16. A pelton wheel is to be designed for a head of 60 m when running at

200 rpm. The pelton wheel develops 95.6475 kW shaft power. The velocity
of bucket is 0.45 times the velocity of jet. Overall efficiency is 0.85 and
coefficient of velocity is 0.98. Find out (a) diameter of pelton wheel and
(b) number of buckets on the wheel.
