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:

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.

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,

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.
