1. A hydraulic coupling belongs to the category of________
a) Energy absorbing machines
b) Energy generating machines
c) Power absorbing machines
d) Energy transfer machines
Explanation: Hydraulic coupling is a device used for transmitting rotation between shafts by means of acceleration and deceleration of hydraulic fluid.
2. The electric power which is obtained from hydraulic energy____________
a) Thermal power
b) Mechanical power
c) Solar power
d) Hydroelectric power
Explanation: Hydroelectric power is generated by using hydraulic machines. Potential energy of water is converted to mechanical energy which is connected to dynamo to generate electrical energy.
3. At present which is cheapest means of generating power_____________
a) Thermal power
b) Nuclear power
c) Hydroelectric power
d) Electric Power
Explanation: Hydraulic energy is renewable source of energy in which Potential energy of water is converted to mechanical energy which is connected to dynamo to generate electrical energy.
4. Pipes of largest diameter which carry water from reservoir to the turbines is known as_____________
a) Head stock
b) Tail race
c) Tail stock
d) Pen stock
Explanation: Penstocks are channels which transport water from reservoir to turbines which are usually made up of cast iron or concrete
5. Pen stocks are made up of _____________
a) Steel
b) Cast iron
c) Mild steel
d) Wrought iron
Explanation: Penstocks are channels which transport water from reservoir to turbines which are usually made up of cast iron or concrete.
6. ____________ is an inward radial flow reaction turbine.
a) Pelton turbine
b) Kaplan turbine
c) Francis turbine
d) Propeller turbine
Explanation: Kaplan and propeller are outward axial flow reaction turbines but Francis is inward radial flow reaction turbine.
7. The important type of axial flow reaction turbines are ______________
a) Propeller and Pelton turbines
b) Kaplan and Francis turbines
c) Propeller and Francis turbines
d) Propeller and Kaplan turbines
Explanation: Axial flow turbine is a turbine in which water flows axially outwards and turbines fall into this category are propeller and Kaplan turbines.
8. ______________ is a axial flow reaction turbines, if vanes are fixed to hub of turbine.
a) Propeller turbine
b) Francis turbine
c) Kaplan turbine
d) Pelton turbine
Explanation: Axial flow turbine is a turbine in which water flows axially outwards, if vanes are fixed to hub of turbine it is known as Propeller turbine but if vanes are free to move it is known as Kaplan Turbine.
9. Francis and Kaplan turbines are known as _______
a) Impulse turbine
b) Reaction turbine
c) Axial flow turbine
d) Mixed flow turbine
Explanation: Francis and Kaplan are reaction turbines because pressure energy of water changes when it enters the rotor.
10. Specific speed of reaction turbine is between?
a) 5 and 50
b) 10 and 100
c) 100 and 150
d) 150 and 300
Explanation: Specific turbines of reaction turbines such as Francis and Kaplan lie under the range 10-100.
