What are rotodynamic machines? Deduce the Euler's pump-turbine equation.
Differentiate between pressure relief valve and pressure reducing valve.

The poppet must move by 2.5 mm2.5 \text{ mm}2.5 mm from its fully closed position in order to pass full pump flow through the valve. Determine the cracking pressure of the valve, and also the pressure of the valve needed for full pump flow through the valve.
State and deduce the Euler's equation of work done for fluid machinery form the RTT's.
