Solution:

In an inward flow reaction turbine, the velocity of flow at the inlet is 2 m/s. If the guide vanes make an angle of 30° to the tangential velocity direction of the runner, what is the absolute velocity of the water leaving the guide vanes?

Solution:

A rectangular channel of 2.5 m width is carrying a discharge of 4 m3/s. Considering that acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s2, the velocity of flow (in m/s) corresponding to the critical depth (rounded off to one decimal place) at which the specific energy is minimum is________.

Solution:

In a laboratory, a flow experiment is performed over a hydraulic structure. The measured values of discharge and velocity are 0.05 m3/s and 0.25 m3/s respectively. If the full-scale structure (30 times bigger) is subjected to a discharge of 270 m3/s, then the time scale (model to full scale) value (up to two decimal places) is ______.

Solution:
