How can we determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent?
The viscosity of a fluid in motion is 1 Poise. What will be its viscosity (in Poise) when the fluid is at rest?
What causes the cohesive forces acting at the free surface of a liquid?
An object with a specific gravity of 5 weighs 80 N in air. When it is fully immersed in water, its weight will be:
For which conditions is a reciprocating pump suitable?
To find the boundary layer thickness, which of the following parameters is required?
Oil in a hydraulic cylinder is compelled from an initial volume 2m3 to 1.96m3. If the pressure of oil in the cylinder changes from 70 MPa to 80 MPa during the compression, the bulk modulus of elasticity of oil (in MPa)is
In a laminar boundary layer flow over a flat plate, what would be the ratio of wall shear stresses τ1 and τ2 at the two sections which lie at distances x1 = 20 cm and x2 = 80 cm from the leading edge of the plate?
According to Archimedes' principle, if a body is immersed partially or fully in a fluid, the buoyancy force on the body is:
Water is coming out from a tap and falls vertically downwards. At the tap opening, the stream diameter is 20 mm with a uniform velocity of 2 m/s. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². Assuming steady, inviscid flow, constant atmospheric pressure everywhere and neglecting curvature and surface tension effects, the diameter in mm of the stream 0.5 m below the tap is approximately
