A horizontal shaft centrifugal pump lifts ware at 65°C. The suction nozzle is one meter below pump centerline. The pressure at this point equal $$200$$ $$kPa$$ gauge and velocity is $$3$$ $$m/s.$$ Steam tables show saturation pressure at $${65^0}C$$ is $$25$$ $$kPa,$$ and specific volume of the saturated liquid is $$0.001020$$$ $${m^3}/kg.$$ . The pump Net Positive suction Head ($$NPSH$$) in meters is

At a hydro electric power plant site, available head and flow rate are $$24.5$$ $$m$$ and $$10.1{m^3}/s$$ respectively. If the turbine to be installed is required to run at $$4.0$$ revolution per second ($$rps$$) with an overall efficiency of $$90\% $$, the suitable type of turbine for this site is _______________.

A centrifugal pump is required to pump water to an open water tank situated $$4$$ $$km$$ away from the location of the pump through a pipe of diameter $$0.2$$ $$m$$ having Darcy’s friction factor of $$0.01.$$ The average speed of water in the pipe is $$2$$ $$m/s.$$ if it is maintain a constant head of $$5$$ $$m$$ in the tank, neglecting other minor losses, the absolute discharge pressure at the pump exist is ______________

If there are $$'m'$$ physical quantities and $$'n'$$ fundamental dimensions in a particular process, the number of non-dimensional parameters is
