4. 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
5. 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)
8. The overall efficiency of an impulse turbine is the ratio of the actual power produced by the turbine to the energy actually supplied by the turbine.
Correct Answer: the water enters the wheel at the outer periphery and then flows towards the centre of the wheel
10. 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 discharge of wheel is
