    This document discusses velocity triangles and specific speeds of pumps and turbines. It contains examples calculating rotational speed of a turbine under different heads to maintain the same discharge. It also contains examples calculating specific speed of a pump given head, discharge and motor speed. Further examples calculate maximum elevation of a pump above a sump based on net positive suction head and losses. Additional examples calculate forces on plates from impinging water jets based on jet properties.

    1. A hydraulic turbine has a discharge of 5 /s, when operating


    under a head of 20 m with a speed of 500 rpm. If it is to operate
    under a head of 15 m, for the same discharge, the rotational speed
    in rpm will approximately be

    ( )

    2. If the pump head is 75m, discharge is 0.464 /s and the motor


    speed is 1440 rpm at rated condition, the specific-speed of the
    pump is about

    (A) 4 (B) 26 (C) 38 (D) 1440

    Ans:

    3. A pump can lift water at a discharge of 0.15 /s to a head of 25 m.


    The critical cavitation number ( ) for the pump is found to be
    0.144. The pump is to be installed at a location where the
    barometric pressure is 9.8 m of water and the vapour pressure of
    water is 0.30 of water. The intake pipe friction loss is 0.40 m.
    Using the minimum value of NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head),
    the maximum allowable elevation above the sump water surface at
    which the pump can be located is

    4. A horizontal jet strikes a frictionless vertical plate (the plan view is

    temperature of water is 30 C (vapour pressure head absolute =
    0.44 m), atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa absolute and the head
