II B.Tech(ccc) Regular Examinations, December 2007 FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULIC MACHINERY (Civil Engineering) Time: 3 hours Answer any FIVE Questions All Questions carry equal marks 1. (a) Dierentiate between simple and dierential type of manometers. And also express pressure intensity of 7.5 kg (f)/cm2 in all pressure units. Take the barometer reading as 76 cm of mercury. (b) Find the depth of a point below water surface in sea where pressure intensity is 1.006 MN/m2 . Specic gravity of water is 1.025. [12+8] 2. (a) Dene the equation of continuity. Obtain an expression for continuity equation for a three dimensional ow. [15] (b) Dene the following and give one practical example for each i. Steady ow ii. uniform ow. Max Marks:100

3. (a) What do you mean by most economical section of a channel. What are the conditions for the rectangular channel of the best section? [10] (b) Derive the Chezys formula for nding discharge through openchannel.

4. (a) Explain the terms: model, prototype, model analysis, hydraulic similitude. [10] (b) Explain the dierent types of hydraulic similarities that must exist between a prototype and its model. [10] 5. A jet plane which weighs 29430 N and has a wing area of 20 m2 les at a velocity of 250 km/hr .When the engine delivers 7357.5 kW. 65% of the power is used to overcome the drag resistance of the wing. Calculate the co-ecient of lift and co-ecient of drag for the wing. Take density of air equal to 1.21kg/m3 . [20] 6. (a) A jet of liquid coming out of nozzle is 25m/sec and it exerts a force of 4000N on a xed at plate held normal to the jet. If the velocity of jet is increased at 30m/sec, nd the increase in force acting on the same plate. [10] (b) A nozzle of 5cm diameter discharges water with a velocity of 50m/sec and strikes to a xed at plate. Find the force acting on the plate when the plate is vertical and plate is inclined to the jet by 400 . [10] 7. (a) What do you understand by specic speed of a turbine? What is its use? [6] (b) What is the necessity of governing the turbines? [6] (c) How do you say that geometrically similar velocity triangles assure kinematic similarity? [8] 1 of 2

8. (a) State the dierence between a closed, semi open and open impellers.

(b) A single stage centrifugal pump with impeller diameter of 30cm rotates at 2000 RPM and lifts 3m3 of water per minute to a height of 30 meters, with an eciency of 75% . Find the number of stages and the diameter of each impeller of a similar multistage pump to lift 5m3 of water per minute a height of 200m when rotating at 1500 rpm. [10]
