Answer ONE Question from each Unit
All Questions Carry Equal Marks
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only
UNIT I
1. Derive the equation for centre of pressure of an inclined plane surface submerges in a liquid.

An oil of viscosity 5 poise is used for lubrication between a shaft and sleeve. The diameter of the
shaft is 0.5 m and it rotates at 200 rpm. Calculate the power lost in oil for a sleeve length of 100
mm. Assume the thickness of oil film is 1.0 mm.
2. Explain about micro manometers with a neat sketch and derive the expression for pressure difference
between two points using micro manometers.
Determine the total pressure and center of pressure of an isosceles triangular plate of base 4 m
and altitude 4 m when immersed vertically in an oil of specific gravity 0.9. The base of the plate
coincides with the free surface of oil.
UNIT II
3. Derive continuity equation in three-dimensional flow.
Derive the equation of stream function and velocity potential for a uniform stream of velocity(V)
in a two-dimensional field, the velocity(V) being inclined to the X-axis at a positive angle

4. Define total acceleration, convective acceleration and local acceleration.
Does the velocity potential exist for two dimensional incompressible flow prescribed by u
v If so, determine velocity potential function and stream function.
UNIT III
5. State the momentum equation. How will you apply momentum equation for determining the
force exerted by a flowing fluid on a pipe bend?
The head of water over an orifice of diameter 100mm is 10m. The water coming out from orifice
is collected in a circular tank of diameter 1.5m. The rise of water level in this tank is 1.0 m in
25 seconds. Also the coordinates of a point on the jet, measured from vena-contracta are 4.3 m
horizontal and 0.5 m vertical. Find the coefficients Cd, Cc and Cv.
6. Derive Euler's equation of motion. How will you obtain Bernoulli's expression from it?
Find the discharge through a trapezoidal notch which is 1 m wide at the top and 0.4 m at the
bottom and is 30 cm in height. The head of water on the notch is 20 cm. Assume Cd for
rectangular portion as 0.62 while for triangular portion as 0.6.

7. What are the different methods of preventing the separations of the boundary layers? Explain
any two methods in detail to control separation with a neat sketch.
An open rectangular box 20m x 3m x 1.5m is drawn longitudinally through water at a velocity
of 10 m/s. Determine the drag force. Take
1X and 1000kg/m3.
8. Define: boundary layer, boundary layer thickness, drag, lift and momentum thickness.
Discuss magnus effect in boundary layer theory and explain in detail two applications of magnus
effect.
UNIT V
9. Derive Darcy-weisbach equation for determination of head loss in pipes.
A main pipe line divides into two parallel pipes which again forms one pipe. The length and
diameter for the first parallel pipe are 2000m and 1m respectively, while the length and diameter
for second parallel pipe are 2000m and 0.8m respectively. Find the rate of flow in each parallel
line, if total flow in the main is 5m3/s. The coefficient of friction for each pipe is same and equal
to 0.004.
10. Explain about Reynold's experiment to determine type of flow. Classify the different types of
flows based on it.
An oil of specific gravity 0.9 and viscosity 0.06 poise is flowing through a pipe of diameter 200mm
at the rate of 60 liters/s. Find the head lost due to friction for a 500 m length of pipe. Find the
power required to maintain this flow.
