CEL 746HYDROELECTRIC ENGINEERING

15th March'08 MINOR II MAX MARKS 20

Q.l Derive the reflection characteristics of the water hammer pressure wave at
0) open end; and (ii) closed end.
(3 marks)

Q.2 Derive an expression for reflection and transmission coefficients for the
following cases:
(i) branching penstock
(ii) penstock with an abrupt change in diameter

(5 marks)

Q.3 Derive the dynamic equations for mass oscillation in the reservoir-pipeline-
surge tank system. Highlight the assumptions made with appropriate
justifications.
(4 marks)

Q.4 Derive the expression for (i) water level in the surge tank; (ii) velocity in
the pipeline; (iii) amplitude of oscillations in water level in the surge tank;
and (iv) time period of oscillations for a reservoir-pipeline-surge tank
system for the following case:

(1) Simple surge tank

(2) Frictionless, undamped, system
(3) Sudden and complete valve closure following a period of steady full
plant discharge flowing through the turbine.,
