Question 1

The velocity of flow from a tap of 12 mm diameter is 8 m/s. What is the diameter of the jet at 1.5 m from the tap when the flow is vertically upwards? Assuming that, the jet continues to be circular upto that level.

Question 2

What is the ratio of displacement thickness to boundary layer thickness for a linear distribution of velocity in the boundary layer on a flat plate, where δ is the boundary layer thickness and u∞ is the free steam velocity?

Question 3

Assertion (A) : The 'dimples' on a golf ball are intentionally provided.
Reason (A) : A turbulent boundary layer, since it has more momentum than a laminar boundary layer, can better resist an adverse pressure gradient.

Question 4

A ship’s model with scale 1:100, has a wave resistance of 10 N at its design speed. What is the corresponding proptotype wave resistance in KN ?

Question 5

A penstock pipe of 10 m diameter carries water under a pressure head of 100 m. If the wall thickness is 9 mm, what is the tensile stress in the pipe wall in MPa?

Question 6
