(PART – B)
Answer any five questions of the following in brief (Each question carries 16 marks) (80 marks)
Question No. 11: a.) Define stagnation enthalpy and stagnation temperature, do these quantities define
stagnation state. Argon is stored in a reservoir at 300 K, determine stagnation enthalpy and velocity of sound in it.
γ = 1.658 and the molecular weight of argon is 39.94.
b.) Compare the final values of the pressure in a duct generated by sudden closure of the exit valve with
i. Hydrogen, γ = 1.4, R = 4125 J/kgK
ii. Air γ = 1.4, R = 287 J/kgK
iii. Freon γ = 1.2, R = 135 J/kgK
The initial flow conditions in each case are pressure 10 bar, temperature 400K and velocity 100 m/s
Question No. 12: a.) A solid cylinder of diameter 5 m and has a height of 10 m. Fine the metacentric height if the
specific gravity of the cylinder is 0.9 and it is floating in water with its axis vertical. State whether the equilibrium is
stable or unstable.
b.) Derive an expression for specific speed for pump.
Question No.13: A double acting reciprocating pump running at 40 rpm is discharging 1.0 m 3 /minute. The pump
has a stroke of 400 mm. The diameter of the piston is [Link] delivery and suction heads are 20m and 5m
respectively. Find the slip of the pump and power required to drive the pump

Question No.14: A jet of water having a velocity of 40m/sec strikes curved vane which is moving with a velocity of
20 m/sec. The jet makes an angle of 300 with the direction of motion of vane at inlet and leaves at an angle of 900
to the direction of motion of vane at outlet. Draw the velocity triangles at inlet and outlet and determine the vane
angles at inlet and outlet so that the water enters and leaves the vane without shock.
Question No.15: A ship 70 m long and 10 m broad has a displacement of 19620 kN. A weight of 343.35 kN is
moved across the deck through a distance of 6m. The ship is tilted through an angle of 60. The moment of inertia
of the ship at water-line about its fore and aft axis is 75% of M.O.I. of the circumscribing rectangle. The centre of
buoyancy is 2.25 m below the water-line. Find the meta-centric height and position of center of gravity of ship.
Specific weight of sea water is 10.104 KN/m3.
Question No.16: A rectangular pontoon 10 m long, 6 m broad, 2.5 m deep weighs 687.6 kN. It carries on its upper
deck an empty boiler of 5 m diameter weighing 588.6 kN. The center of gravity of the boiler and the pontoon are
at their respective centers along a vertical line. Find the metacentric height. Weight density of sea water is 10.104
kN/m3..
