Question: OUESTION ONE ( 3 0 MARKS ) ( a ) In still water of depth 1 5 m , determine ( i ) the period
OUESTION ONE MARKS
a In still water of depth determine i the period and its phase speed celerity; for a water wave with wavelength ; ii the wavelength and its phase speed celerity for a wave with period
Marks
b A Pelton turbine is driven by two jets, generating at with overall efficiency The gross head available is of water. The water is delivered to the turbine through a pipe long and of diameter having a friction loss of The Nozzle velocity coefficient. and the axes of the jet are tangent to a circle in diameter of the turbine.
Marks
Considering only friction losses, determine
i The net head available at the nozzles and the power input to the turbine
ii the flow of water through each nozzle
iii jet speed and the diametor of each jet
iv the specific speed of the turbine in
e Periormance characteristics of a pump is shown in Table Ple The pipe system is designed to convey water from a lower reservoir located at an elevation of through a diameter total length of commercial steel pipe with friction factor, to a higher reservoir located at an eleyation of determine i the discharge, head and power required if one punip is used ii the discharge, head delivered & total power produced and power consumed by each pump if two identical pumps are connected in series. The system has two gate valves each and two bends each
