FLUID MECHANICS
Time: 3 Hours Total Marks: 70
Note: 1. Attempt all Sections. If require any missing data; then choose suitably.
SECTION A
SECTION B
2. Attempt any three of the following: 7 x 3 = 21
a. Derive an expression for the resultant pressure force on a curved surface immersed in a
liquid. Determine the total pressure on a circular plate of diameter 1.5m which is

placed vertically in water in such a way that centre of plate is 3m below the free
surface of water
b. Explain the principle of venturimeter with a neat sketch. Derive for rate of flow of
fluid through it.
c. Define stream function & velocity potential function. Calculate the velocity at the
point (3,3) for the following stream function: ψ= 0.5(y2-x2) +xy-6
d. Derive shear stress distribution and velocity distribution in circular pipe for laminar
flow. Draw their graphical diagram as per the expressions derived
e. 250 litres/sec of water is flowing in a pipe having a diameter of 30 cm. If the pipe is
bent by 135 degree, Find the magnitude & direction of resultant force on the bend.The
pressure of the water flowing in the pipe is 400 KPa
SECTION C
3. Attempt any one part of the following: 7x1=7
(a) Oil of viscosity 0.1 Pa.s and specific gravity 0.90, flows through a horizontal pipe of
25 mm diameter. If the pressure drop per meter length of the pipe is 12 KPa, determine
(a) the rate of flow in N/min (b) the shear stress at the pipe wall (c) the Reynolds
number of the flow (d) the power required in Watt per meter length of pipe to maintain
the flow. Take Ύw=9810 N/m3
(b) For laminar flow of an oil having dynamic viscosity μ = 1.766 Pa.s in a 0.3 diameter
pipe flows with a maximum central line velocity of 3m/s. Calculate shearing stress at
the pipe wall and within the fluid 50 mm from the pipe wall
