Explain with neat sketches, the necessary conditions for boundary layer separation. What are common methods to control boundary layer separation? Classify different types of fluid flow with example. Derive the continuity equation in Cartesian coordinates. Define the terms: Major energy losses and minor energy losses in pipe. Derive expression for calculating loss of head due to sudden enlargement and sudden contraction. What are differential manometers? A “U" - tube manometer containing mercury of density 13600 kg/m? is used to measure the pressure drop along.a horizontal pipe. If the fluid in the pipe has a relative density of 0.8 and the manometer reading is 0.6m, what is the pressure difference measured by the manometer? Assuming the drag force, F, exerted on a body isa function of the following: Fluid density p , Fluid viscosity «, Diameter d Velocity u Show the drag force can be expressed as, F=d'u'p®(Re) Where q is some unknown function and Reis Reynolds number. 301/12/2016/27700 @) NCE - 301 7. A horizontal venturimeter with a discharge coefficient of 0.98 is being used to measure the low rate of a liquid of density 1030 kg/m’, The pipe diameter at entry to the venturi is 75mm and the venturi throat has an area of 1000mm‘. If the flow rate is 0.011 m’/s determine the height difference recorded on a U-tube manometer connecting the throat to the upstream pipe. Take the relative density of mercury to be 13.6, 8. A circular plate 3 meters in diameter is submerged in water in such a way that the greatest and least depths of the surface, (below water surface) are 2m , and Im respectively, calculate: i) The total pressure on front face of the plate, and ii) The position of center of pressure. 9.

NCE - 301 flow through a circular pipe. Also sketch the distribution of velocity and shear stress across a section of pipe. Water is flowing in a 300mm pipeline fitted with a 45° bend in the vertical plane. The diameter at the outlet of the bend is 150mm. The pipe axis at the inlet is horizontal and the outlet is 1.5m above the inlet. If the flow through the bend is 0.4m’/s and a head - loss of 0.5m occurs in the bend, calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force the bend support must withstand. The volume of the bend is 0.075m' and the pressure at the inlet is 300 kN/m?. Using continuity and the Bernoulli equation derive the following expression that can be used to measure flow rate with a Venturi meter. ae Oana = Cad 301/12/2016/27700 4)
