1) Consider the following statements pertaining to the definition of fluid
How to access machines:
the Portal? (i) Hydraulic turbines are machines which convert the energy held by the
fluid into mechanical energy by a rotating member
Week 1:
(ii) Pumps/compressors/fans/blowers are machines which convert the
Week 2: energy held by the fluid into mechanical energy by a rotating member
(iii) The machines which transfer mechanical energy of moving parts
into fluid are known as pumps/compressors/fans/blowers.
(iv) The machines which transfer mechanical energy of moving parts
into fluid are known as turbines
only (i) and (iii) are correct
only (ii) and (iv) are correct
only (i) is correct
only (ii) is correct
2.5 points
2) Consider the following statements pertaining to the classification of fluid
machines:
(i) Rotodynamic machines are those whose functioning depends on the
principle of fluid dynamics
(ii) Rotodynamic machines are those whose functioning depends on the
change of volume of a certain amount of fluid within the machine
(iii) Positive displacement machines are those whose functioning
depends on the principle of fluid dynamics
(iv) Positive displacement machines are those whose functioning
depends on the change of volume of a certain amount of fluid within
the machine
only (ii) and (iii) are correct
only (i) and (iv) are correct
only (i) is correct
only (ii) is correct

energy transfer by the fluid to the rotor can be expressed in terms of head
as: (
here, Vw is the whirl component of velocity of fluid and U is the linear
velocity of the rotor . Subscripts 1 and 2 represent inlet and outlet of the
rotor respectively)

dependent on the working head and can be any value in between zero
and one

5) Specific speed of a turbine is
the speed of a member of the same homologous series as the actual
turbine, so reduced in size as to deliver unit discharge operating under a
unit head of the flow
the speed of a member of the same homologous series as the actual
turbine working under a unit head
the speed of a member of the same homologous series as the actual
turbine, so reduced in size as to generate unit power under a unit
discharge of the flow
the speed of a member of the same homologous series as the actual
turbine, so reduced in size as to generate unit power under a unit head of
the flow

6) Two hydraulic turbines are similar and homologous when they are
geometrically similar and have
the same specific speed
the same rotational speed
the same Froude number
the same Thoma’s number

is reduced to 20m, the power developed (in kW) is
177 to 178
353 to 354
500 to 501
707 to 708
2.5 points
8) A model of a hydraulic turbine is tested at a head of 1/4th of that under
which the full scale turbine works. The diameter of the model is half of that
of the full scale turbine. If the full scale turbine rotates at N rpm, then the
rotational speed of the model will be
