buckets are bent backwards by 30. Determine the power developed per unit
weight of water flow.
b) Draw the indicator diagram considering both acceleration head and friction head
for reciprocating pump.
c) Water at a head of 300 m is supplied to a pipe of diameter 40 cm and length 4m.

the working of Bourdons tube pressure gauge.
b) A 5m long tapered pipe is inclined at an angle of 15 with horizontal. Diameter of
the pipe at top end is 0.24 m and that at bottom end is 0.08 m. find the pressure
difference between the two ends if the velocity of water at bottom end is 2 m/s.

2
and 9.81 N/cm
2
respectively. Find the rate of flow
of water through the pipe in litres / sec. Take C
d
= 0.6.
b) Explain the construction and working of double acting reciprocating Pump with
the help of neat sketch. Why the reciprocating pump is called as the Positive
displacement pump.
c) A centrifugal pump having impeller diameters 0.3 m and 0.6 m at inlet and outlet
respectively is running at 1000 rpm. The vanes are curved back at an angle of 30
at outlet. If the velocity of flow through the impeller is 3 m/s constant.
Find i) Vane angle at inlet and
ii) Work done per kg of water on the wheel.
