The runner blade angles are ß = 82° and ßi = 46° at the %3D turbine inlet and outlet, respectively (Figure 3.1). The runner rotates at n = 120 rpm. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 300 m³/s. Irreversible losses are neglected in this preliminary analysis. i. Calculate the angle æ wicket gate should turn the flow, where æ is measured from the radial direction at the runner inlet. ii. Calculate the swirl angle, a, where a is measured from the radial direction at the runner outlet. ii. Does this turbine have a forward or reverse swirl? v. Predict the power output (kW) and required net head (m).

The dimensions of a Francis radial-flow hydroturbine are r2 = 2.00 m, r1 = 1.30 m, b2 = 0.85 m, and b1 = 2.10 m, where location 2 is the inlet and location 1 is the outlet. At the turbine inlet and outflow, the runner blade angles are β2 = 71.4° and β1 = 15.3°, respectively. The runner rotates at a rate of ń = 160 rpm. At design conditions, the volume flow rate is 80.0 m3 /s. (a) State the necessary assumptions and calculate the angle α2 at which the wicket gates should turn the flow (Figure Q1), with α2 measured from the radial direction at the runner inlet. (b) Calculate the swirl angle α1 (Figure Q1), where α1 is the angle measured from the radial direction at the runner output. (c) Calculate the needed net head and power output. (d) Discuss the actual power output and head required for actual case of the turbine (irreversibility not neglected). (Properties For water at 20oC, ρ = 998.0 kg/m3)

Two pumps (Pump A and B) have performance curves which can be approximated by the following equations: H_A = 340 - (1.2(Q^2)), in feet H_B = 360 - (2.5(Q^2)), in feet where Q is in ft^3/s. If pumps A and B were to operate in parallel as depicted in the figure below, at what head (in ft.) should either pump be operated?
A centrifugal pump with a 3-inches diameter impeller rotating at 1150 rpm delivered 400 gpm of water 80ºF at 250 ft total head. Find the impeller diameter of a geometrically similar pump rotating at 1750 rpm delivering 500 gpm. What is the total head of the second pump.
For Questions 3 to 5, consider the following conditions: a centrifugal pump has diameters d1 = 7 in, d2 = 13 in, blade widths b1 = 4 in, b2 = 3 in, blade angles B1 = 25° and B2 = 40°, and rotates at 1160 r/min. If the fluid is gasoline at 20°C (p = 1.319 slugs/ft^3) and the flow enters the blades radially, estimate the theoretical or "design" quantities.
Water enters a fountain through a pipe with a cross-sectional area A₁ at a flowrate Q. The pressure in the inlet pipe is p₁. The water then leaves through a nozzle with a cross- sectional area A2 and at an angle 0, as shown in Figure Q5. Both the inlet and the nozzle are at a height h2, and the jet reaches a maximum height h3. X You may assume that viscosity is negligible. a) Find the horizontal force on the block b) What is the horizontal-component (u₂), vertical component (v₂) and magnitude (V₂) of the velocity of the jet as it leaves the nozzle? = c) What is the maximum height of the jet? You may assume that the horiztonal component of velocity is the same at every point in the jet.
