SECTION-B
11. Define compressibility. How it is related to bulk modules of elasticity?
12. Describe with equations action of fluid pressure on a horizontal and inclined plan.
13. A pipe 300 m long has a slope of 1 in 100 and tapers from 1 m diameter at high end to
05 m at low end. Quantity of water flowing is 5400 1/min. If pressure at the high end is
70kPa, find pressure at the low end.
14. With sketch explain different conditions of stability of immersed and floating bodies.
15. The thrust T of a propeller depends on its diameter D, the fluid density p, dynamic
viscosity , revolution per unit time N and velocity V of advance with respect to the
undisturbed fluid. By mean of dimensional analysis show that the appropriate non-
dimensional parameters are :
T = D2V2f(/VD, DN/V)
SECTION-C
16. What are basic components of turbo machine? Classify turbo machine on the bases of
purpose and illustrate them.
17. A hollow cylinder closed at both ends has an outside diameter of 1.25 m, length 3.5 m and
specific weight 75kN/m3. If the cylinder is to float just in stable equilibrium in sea water,
find its minimum permissible thickness. Presume that sea water weighs 10 kN/m3.
18. Discuss about following :
a) Ideal and real fluids,
b) Stream and velocity potential function
c) Manometer.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
