1. A turbine is to is to operate under a head of 25m at 200 r.p.m.

The discharge
is 9m3/s . If the overall efficiency is 90 percent, determine the: power
generated, specific speed of the turbine and type of turbine.

2. At a location investigations yielded the following data for the installation of a


hydro plant. Head available = 200 m, power available = 40,000 kW. The
speed chosen was 500 rpm. A model study was proposed. In the laboratory
head available was 20 m. It was proposed to construct a 1/6 scale model.
Determine the speed and dynamo meter capacity to test the model. Also
determine the flow rate required in terms of the prototype flow rate

4. Find the number of pumps required to take water from a deep well under a
total head of 89m. all the pumps are identical and are running at 800 r.p.m .
the specific speed of each pump is given as 25 rpm while the rated capacity
of each pump is 0.16 m3/s.
