Q.2 If the velocity profile of a fluid over a plate is parabolic (u = ay² + by + c where a, b, c are constant) with the vertex 20 cm from the plate, where the velocity is 120 cm/sec. Calculate the velocity gradients and shear stresses at a distance of 0, 10, 20 cm from the plate, if the viscosity of the fluid is 8.5 poise.
Q.3 Explain the concept of Boundary layer theory.

Q.8 The water is flowing through a pipe having diameters 20 cm and 10 cm at section 1 and section 2 respectively. The rate of flow through pipe is 35 litres/s. The section 1 is 6 m above datum and section 2 is 4 m above datum. If the pressure at section 1 is 39.24 N/cm², find the intensity of pressure at section 2.
Q.9 A centrifugal pump rotating at 1000 rpm delivers 160 litres/s of water against a head of 30 m. The pump is installed at a place where atmospheric pressure is 1×105 Pa (abs.) and vapour pressure of water is 3 k pa (abs). The head loss in suction pipe is equivalent to 0.2 m of water calculate :
- Minimum NPSH, and
- Maximum allowable height of the pump from free surface of water in the sump.
