This document summarizes Engineering Services Examination (ESE) 2016 Civil Engineering Paper-II (Conventional). Page 1 carries the exam header, time (Three Hours), maximum marks (200), and instructions: seven questions in total, candidates must answer five, with Question 1 compulsory; answers in English; neat sketches where required; all parts attempted together. Page 2 lists the fully visible first question (Q1) with subparts (a)–(e) covering topics such as trapezoidal channel hydraulics (including critical depth), centrifugal pump efficiency, precipitation forms in hydrology, design of a circular primary settling tank for a sewage treatment plant, and a half-full sewer pipe flow calculation using Manning’s formula. Together, pages outline the exam format and sample content for hydraulics, pumps, hydrology, and wastewater design problems typical of ESE civil engineering papers.

Questions (page 2)

Q1.

(a) 1. Answer all of the following : trapezoidal channel has bed A slope = 1.5, width = 4 m, side bed slope = 0.01 and Manning's n = 0.012. If it is carrying a discharge = 40 m3/s at normal depth = 1.5 m, then classify its slope by computing critical depth. \n What is centrifugal pump efficiency?

(b) Describe the important factors influencing centrifugal pump efficiency. \overline4 What is precipitation in hydrology?

(c) briefly Describe forms 0t precipitation. \n4 Design a circular primary settling tank

(d) for a sewage treatment plant. Given data are: 4 Flow rate = 27000 m3/d Retention time = 2.5 hr Weir length = 30 m Total number of tanks = 2 Surface loading rate = 30 m3/m2/d \n A 500 mm diameter sewer pipe has

(e) been installed with an invert slope of 0.008. Determine the capacity of flow when the sewer pipe is flowing half-full. The number of sewer pipes used is 2. roughness coefficient is Manning's 0.012. Assume that flow in the sewer pipe is uniform.
