Problem 1
Total marks [10]
With the aid of a labelled diagram explain how the Energy Line and Hydraulic Grade line will change in simple
pipeline with pump and turbine. And draw the corresponding mechanical energy flow chart
Problem 2
Total marks [10]
Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 20 kW of useful
mechanical power to the water. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 45 m higher than the surface of
the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be 0.03m3s, determine the irreversible head
loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process.
Problem 3
Total marks [10]
Underground water is to be pumped by a 78 percent efficient 5-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free
surface is 30-m above the underground water level. The diameter of the pipe is 7 cm on the intake side
(suction side) and 5 cm on the discharge side. Determine:
(a) The maximum flow rate of water
(b) The pressure difference across the pump inlet and the outlet
Problem 4

With the aid of a labelled diagram, derive the equation for linear momentum equation that applies to fixed
control volume under steady state conditions.
Problem 5
Total marks [15]
Water is flowing through a 10 cm diameter water pipe at a rate of 0.1m3s. Now a diffuser with an outlet
diameter of 20 cm is bolted to the pipe in order to slow down water, as shown below.
a) Disregarding frictional effects, determine the force exerted on the bolts due to the water flow.
b) If the bolts are 2 with 50 mm in diameter, determine the stress in each bolt
Problem 6
Total marks [25]
Water flows through a pipe bend and nozzle which lies with its axis in the horizontal plane. The water issues
from the nozzle into the atmosphere as a parallel jet with velocity of 16ms and the gauge pressure at A is
128kNm2. Neglecting friction, find the momentum of the resultant force due to the water-jet about a
vertical axis through point x.
