INSTRUCTION! Answer all questions, illustrate where necessary.
Question 1
A centritinga! pump i 4 speed of £450 pm against a head of 25 mn. ;
The impeller diame width at outlet is 50 mm aad hydraulic efficiency is 85
percent (40) ‘
Determine:
1. The vane angle at the outer periphery of the impeller
2. The angle. absolute velocity of water at exit makes with the tangent ?
3. The torque. assuming the fluid pumped is water.
Question 2
4). A hydraulic turbine with a runner outside diameter of 4.31 mo
H of $43 mata volume flow rate of 71.5 m/s and produces 350
rotational speed of 333 rev/min,
Determine, the Specific speed, the specific diameter, and
(b) Another geometrically and dynamically similar turbine
built wo operate with an elective head of 500m. Determin
