QUESTION BANK FOR INTERNAL REMEDIAL EXAMINATION

1. What is dimensional less number? State and explain them.

2. State and explain Buckingham’s π theorem. Why it is considered over Rayleigh
method over dimensional analysis.
3. Discuss the phenomenon of boundary layer separation. What are the different methods
of preventing the separation of boundary layer?
4. Draw a general layout of a Hydroelectric power plant using an impulse turbine and
define the following: 1) Gross Head 2) Net Head 3) Hydraulic Efficiency 4)
Overall Efficiency of Impulse turbine.
5. A 6 meter wide channel conveys water at a depth of 2.15 m. The bedslope of channel is
0.001. Find the width to be provided in transition so as to obtain critical depth.
Alternatively with the same width of 6m, find the rise in the bedlevel required to
produce critical flow in channel. Take N= 0.01
6. The discharge of water through a rectangular channel of width 7.5 m is 20m3/s when
depth of flow of water is 1.5 m. Calculate: (1) specific energy of the flowing water (2)
critical depth and critical velocity (3) value of minimum specific energy.
7. Derive Chezy’s formula to calculate the velocity in case of a channel.
8. What do you mean by pipes in series and pipes in parallel? How the loss of head is
determined in both systems.
