Derive continuity equation from basic principles.

SECTION-C
7.
An oil of specific gravity 0.7 is flowing through a pipe of diameter 30 cm at the rate of
500 liters/sec. Find the head lost due to friction and power required to maintain the flow
for a length of 1000 m. Take = 0.29 stokes.
8.
The velocity of water in a pipe of 200mm diameter is 5m/s. The length of the pipe is
50m. Find the loss of head due to friction, if f = 0.08.
9.
The efficiency ( of a fan depends on (density), (viscosity) of the fluid, (angular
velocity), d (diameter of rotor) and Q (discharge). Express in terms of non-dimensional
parameters. Use Buckingham's n theorem.
