SECTION - B

2. Derive an expression for the total pressure and centre of pressure for a

vertically immersed surface.

3. Differentiate between rotational and irrigational flows.

4. Explain the kinetic energy and momentum correction factor.

5. What are repeating variables? How are these selected by dimensional

analysis? Discuss.

6. A solid cylinder 2 m in diameter and 2 m high is floating in water with its

axis vertical. If the specific gravity of the material of cylinder is 0.65, find

its metacentric height. State whether the equilibrium is stable or unstable.

SECTION - C

7. State and prove Bernoulli’s equation. Write the limitations also.

8. Describe the construction and operation of a centrifugal pump.

9. The water is coming out of an orifice of diameter 100 mm under a head

of 10 m. It is collected in a circular tank of diameter 1.5 m. The rise of

water level in this tank is 1.0 m in 25 seconds. Also the coordinates of a

point on the jet, measured from venacontracta are 4.3 m horizontal and

0.5 m vertical. Find the hydraulic coefficients.
