The structure constructed to allow drainage water to flow under pressure through an inverted syphon below a canal, is called

A

Syphon

B

Super passage

C

Super-aqueduct

D

Syphon aqueduct

In a canal syphon, the flow is

Under atmospheric pressure

B

Pipe flow

C

With critical velocity

D

Under negative pressure

When a cylindrical vessel, containing some liquid, is rotated about its vertical axis, the liquid surface is depressed down at the axis of its rotation and rises up near the walls of the vessel on all sides. This type of flow is known as

A

Steady flow

B

Turbulent flow

C

Vortex flow

D

Uniform flow

The uplift pressure on the roof of an inverted syphon, is maximum when

A

Drain in running dry

B

Canal is running dry

C

Canal is running with F.S.L.

D

Drain is running with H.F.L.

In a syphon aqueduct

A

Drainage passes over the canal and F.S.L. of the canal is below the bottom of the drainage trough

B

Drainage passes over the canal and F.S.L. of the canal is above the bottom of the drainage trough

C

Canal passes over the drainage and H.F.L. of the drainage is above the bottom of the canal trough

D

Canal passes over the drainage and H.F.L. of the drainage is below the bottom of the canal trough

The pressure at the summit of a syphon is

A

equal to atmospheric

B

less than atmospheric

C

more than atmospheric

D

none of the above

The velocity of drainage water in the barrels of a syphon-aqueduct, is normally limited to

A

1 to 2 m per second

B

2 to 3 m per second

C

3 to 4 m per second

D

4 to 5 m per second

The level of the floor of a syphon aqueduct can be obtained

A

By subtracting the depth of the culvert from the canal bed level

B

By subtracting the thickness of culvert plus the depth of the culvert from the canal bed level

C

Pressure gauges are never connected directly to the live steam line; rather a loop or syphon is interposed as close as possible to the pressure gauge. This is done to

A

Avoid the overheating of the tubes & bellows which operate them to minimise error and damage

B

Form a seal of water by steam condensate to fill the tube or bellows at the pressure being measured

C

Both 'A' & 'B'

D

Avoid the static head error introduced by steam entry
