The maximum number of jets, generally, employed in an impulse turbine without jet interference are
-
In a reciprocating pump, air vessels are fitted to the suction pipe and delivery pipe close to the cylinder of the pump.
-
Discharge (Q) of a centrifugal pump is given by (where D = Diameter of impeller at inlet, b = Width of impeller at inlet, and Vf = Velocity of flow at inlet)
-
A centrifugal pump will start delivering liquid only when the pressure rise in the impeller is equal to the
-
When the speed of the pump increases, its net positive suction head (NPSH) requirement decreases.
-
A Francis turbine is used when the available head of water is
-
The specific speed from 160 to 500 r.p.m. of a centrifugal pump indicates that the pump is
-
A hydraulic coupling belongs to the category of
-
The principle of jet propulsion is used in driving the ships and aeroplanes.
-
In the casing of a centrifugal pump, the kinetic energy of the water is converted into pressure energy before the water leaves the casing.
