Calculate the water hammer pressure developed when a gate at the end of 2500 2.5 m diameter penstock carrying water is closed in 6 sec. The initial head on the penstock is 50 m. Given k = 2.1x10 N/m².p=1000kg/m. Assume Rigid pipe

m long

OR

What is water hammer? What are its ill effects? How these are avoided?

 

A penstock with an internal diameter of 1.4 m supplies water at a steady state head 180 m. There is a possibility of 20% increase in the pressure due to transient condition. The design stress and efficiency at the joint may be assumed to be 11.2 kN/cm² and 85% respectively. Calculate approximate wall thickness of the penstock required.

Explain step by step the method of hydraulic design of surge tank. A surge tank is to be design for a 4800 m long penstock of 3.5 m diameter carrying 40m³/s discharge and having friction factor 0.03 and head 98 m. Calculate the area of simple surge

tunk.

6. a) Explain differential surge tank with suitable sketch.

b)

Suggest height of a surge tank (simple cylindrical) if its diameter is 6 m. The penstock is

600 m long, 2 m diameter and carries 6.28 cumees. Neglect friction. Assume F=0.03.
