4. A Pelton wheel develops 1750 kW under a head of 100 metres while running at 200 r.p.m. and discharging 2500 litres of water per second. The unit speed of the wheel is
Correct Answer: workdone on the wheel to the energy (or head of water) actually supplied to the turbine
6. Power required (in watts) to drive a centrifugal pump is (where Hm = Manometric head in metres, w = Specific weight in N/m3, Q = Discharge of the pump in m3/s, and ?o = Overall efficiency of the pump)
7. By fitting an air vessel to the reciprocating pump, there is always a saving of work done and subsequently saving of power.The saving in case of a double acting reciprocating pump is
