SECTION-B
2. A thin plate of very large area is placed in a gap of height h with oils of dynamic
viscosity ?
1
and ?
2
on the two sides of the plate. The plate is pulled at a constant velocity
V. Calculate position of the plate for
a. equal drag on the plate
b. drag on the piate is minimum.
3. A cube of side 100 mm and weight 5 N is immersed in a liquid of relative density 0.80
contained in a rectangular tank of plan area 150 mm ? 150 mm. If tank contained liquid
to a height of 80 mm before the immersion of cube, determine the levels of bottom of
cube and the liquid surface.
4. Derive Darcy?s Equation for the determination of loss of head due to friction in pipeline.
5. Water with a viscosity of 1.12 ? 10
?3
Ns/m
2
flows slowly along a glass tube of diameter
40 mm at a flow velocity of 150 mm/sec. Would the flow be laminar or turbulent?
6. Water flows over a rectangular notch 1 m wide at a depth of 150 mm and afterwards
passes through a triangular right-angled notch. The coefficient of discharges for
rectangular and triangular notches may be taken as 0.62 and 0.59 respectively. Find depth
of water over the triangular notch.
SECTION-C
7. A lawn sprinkler has two identical nozzles of diameter 12 mm each, provided at the ends
of a rotating arm of a sprinkler. Both the nozzles are discharging water in the same
directions and in the same horizontal plane. The left nozzle is located at a radial distance
of 200 mm from the center of rotor while the other nozzle is located at a radial distance of
150 mm from the center of rotor. The velocity of flow from each nozzle is 10 m/s.
Determine
a. torque required to hold the rotating arm stationary
b. constant speed of rotation of the arm, if it is free to rotate.
8. A single acting reciprocating pump running at 50 rpm, delivers 0.01 m
3
/s of water.
The diameter of the piston is 200 mm and stroke length 400 mm Determine the
theoretical discharge of the pump, coefficient of discharge and slip and the percentage
slip of the pump.
9. Using Buckingham?s ?- theorem, show that the velocity through a circular orifice in a
pipe is given by v = ?(2gH) f {d/ H, ?/ ?vH | where v is the velocity through orifice of
diameter d and H is the head causing the flow and ? and ? are the density and dynamic
viscosity of the fluid passing through the orifice and g is acceleration due to gravity.
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.
