Assignment

1. Explain briefly the term boundary layer


2. Give four examples in everyday life where formation of boundary layer is important
3. Show that for velocity distribution

the ratio of δ/δ* = 3

4. Find the ratio of displacement thickness to momentum thickness and momentum thick ness
to energy thickness for the velocity distribution in the boundary layer given by

5. Calculate the displacement thickness and momentum thickness in terms of d, the nominal
boundary layer thickness, for the following velocity distributions.

6. A pipe (1) 400 mm in diameter, conveying water, branches into two pipes (2 and 3 of
diameters 300 mm and 200 mm respectively. (i) Find the discharge in pipe (1) if the average
velocity of water in this pipe is 3 m/s. (ii) Determine the velocity of water in 200 mm pipe if
the average velocity in 300 mm diameter pipe is 2 m/s.

7. A pipe 300 metres long has a slope of 1 in 100 and tapers from 1.0 m diameter at the higher
end to 0.5 m at the lower end. Quantity of water flowing is 90 litre/s. If the pressure at
higher end is 70 kN/m2 , find the pressure at the lower end

8. Find the maximum speed of an open circular cylinder having 150 mm diameter, 1 m length
and containing water up to a height of 800 mm at which it should be rotated about its
vertical axis so that no water spills

9. A 150 mm diameter open circular cylinder is 1 m long and contains water up to a height of
0.7 m. Estimate the speed at which the cylinder may be rotated about its vertical axis so that
the axial depth becomes zero

10. A cylindrical vessel closed at the top is 0.2 m in diameter, 1.2 m long and contains water up
to a height of 0.8 m. (i) Find the height of the paraboloid formed, if it is rotated at 400 r.p.m.
about its vertical axis. (ii) Find the speed of rotation of the vessel when axial depth is zero

11. Given the velocity field: V = (6 + 2xy + t2 )i – ( xy2 + 10t) j + 25k. What is the acceleration of a
particle at (3, 0, 2) at time t = 1 ?
12. The velocity components in a steady flow are: u = 2kx; v = 2ky; w = – 4kz. What is the
equation of a stream line passing through the point (1, 0, 1)?

13. The velocity potential function (φ) is given by

Determine the velocity components in x and y directions and show that φ represents a
possible case of flow

14. If φ = 2xy determine ψ.

15. If the velocity field is given by u = x2 – y 2 + x and v = – (2xy + y), determine φ and ψ.

process (b) adiabatic process ?
17. What is sonic velocity ? On what factors does it depend ?
18. What is Mach number ? Why is this parameter so important for the study of flow of
compressible fluids ?
19. A 100 mm diameter pipe reduces to 50 mm diameter through a sudden contraction. When it
carries air at 20·16°C under isothermal conditions, the absolute pressures observed in the
two pipes just before and after the contraction are 400 kN/ m2 and 320 kN/m2 respectively.
Determine the densities and velocities at the two sections. Take R = 290 J/kg K.
20. Ajet propelled aircraft is flying at 1100 km/h. at sea level. Calculate the Mach number at a
point on the aircraft where air temperature is 20°C. Take : R = 287 J/kg K and γ = 1·4.
21. An aeroplane is flying at an height of 20 km where the temperature is – 40°C. The speed of
the plane is corresponding to M = 1·8. Find the speed of the plane. Take : R = 287 J/kg K, γ =
1·4.
