Hydraulic Machines MCQs

131. Discharge of a centrifugal pump is

directly proportional to diameter of its impeller
inversely proportional to diameter of its impeller
directly proportional to (diameter)2 of its impeller
inversely proportional to (diameter)2 of its impeller
✅ The correct answer is option C.

133. The overall efficiency of a reaction turbine is the ratio of

power produced by the turbine to the energy actually supplied by the turbine
actual work available at the turbine to the energy imparted to the wheel
workdone on the wheel to the energy (or head of water) actually supplied to the turbine
none of the above
✅ The correct answer is option A.

135. Manometric head, in case of a centrifugal pump, is equal to

Suction lift + Loss of head in suction pipe due to friction + Delivery lift + Loss of head in delivery pipe due to friction + Velocity head in the delivery pipe
Workdone per kN of water – Losses within the impeller
Energy per kN at outlet of impeller – Energy per kN at inlet of impeller
all of the above
✅ The correct answer is option D.

137. In a reaction turbine, the draft tube is used

to run the turbine full
to prevent air to enter the turbine
to increase the head of water by an amount equal to the height of the runner outlet above the tail race
to transport water to downstream
✅ The correct answer is option C.
