2Elaborate the importance of reservoir project in the context of Nepal.—
3Briefly explain the safety measures needed to be considered inside the underground power house.—
4Classify the institutions involved in hydropower development in Nepal and explain their roles.—
5A hydropower plant is to be installed in a river of which the firm flow is 100 cumecs. The net head is 110m, and the plant's overall efficiency is 85%. Environmental Regulations restricts that 10% of the flow can not be divided as it has to be released downstream. What should be the installed capacity of the power plant, if it is to be operated for daily peaking for six hours. Assume that 10% of the stored water in regulating pond will be lost in evaporation.—
6What are Return of Equity (ROL) and internal Rate or Ratum (IRR)? What is the main factor, which generally makes ROE more than IRR in the context of financial analysis of a hydropower project?—
7What exactly are Reynolds number, Froude number and Mach number? Explain their significance with reference to their different values.—
8Water is flowing down through a vertical pipe of uniform cross section or crossection of height H. Leaving all other theoretical and practical constraints inside, where would you get maximum power. If a turine were installed – (i) Near the top and of the pipe (ii) At the mid height of the pipe (iii) Near the top end of the pipe. (iv) Location of turbine does not make any difference? You need to justify your answer Quantitatively.—

As the turbine draws 0.5m³/s of water the head lose in the 300 mm diameter supply line is 2.5m. calculate the pressure intensity at the entrance to the turbine. Determine the energy absorbed by the turbine in kW. Ignoring the functional losses between the entrance and end of turbine, when a negative pressure 3 × 10⁴ pa exists at the 500mm diameter section of the drat tube 1.5m below the supply line. Also find the output of the turbine, if its efficiency is 85%.—
