Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 1

### What is the specific gravity of a fluid whose specific weight is 7.85 kN/m3?

Detailed Solution for Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 1

Specific Weight:

$$\gamma = \rho g = 7.85 \Rightarrow \rho = \frac{{7.85 \times {{10}^3}}}{{10}} = 785$$

Specific gravity:

$$s = \frac{\rho }{{{\rho _{water}}}} = \frac{{785}}{{1000}} = 0.8$$

Where P = Pressure (pascal)

ρ = density of fluid (kg/m3)

g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)

h = height of liquid column (metres)

Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 6

Which of the following is CORRECT about the viscosity of gas?

Detailed Solution for Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 6

As temperature increases, randomness in molecules also increases. This increase in randomness will result in increase in viscosity as viscosity of gas depends on randomness & collision of gas molecules.

Phenomenon: As a gas is heated, the movement of gas molecules increases and the probability that one gas molecule will collide with another gas molecule increases. In other words, increasing gas temperature causes the gas molecules to collide more often. This increases the gas viscosity because the transfer of momentum between stationary and moving molecules is what causes gas viscosity.

Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 7

The barometric pressure at the base of a mountain is 750 mm Hg and at the top 600 mm Hg. if the average air density is 1 kg/m3, the height of the mountain (in m) is approximately

Detailed Solution for Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 7

At base PB = 750 mm of Hg

At top, PA = 600 mm of Hg

∴ Pressure difference = 150 mm of Hg

(ΔP) = hρg

⇒ Height of mountain = 2040 m

Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 8

Detailed Solution for Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 9

Centre of Pressure on a Immersed surface from water surface is given by:

For vertical surface θ = 90°

So, the formula is valid for θ = 90°

Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 10

The flow in which the velocity vector is identical in magnitude and direction at every point, for any given instant, is known as

Detailed Solution for Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 10

The flow is defined as uniform flow when in the flow field the velocity and other hydrodynamic parameters do not change from point to point at any instant of time. For a uniform flow, there will be no spatial distribution of hydrodynamic and other parameters.

When the velocity and other hydrodynamic parameters changes from one point to another the flow is defined as non-uniform.

steady flow is defined as a flow in which the various hydrodynamic parameters and fluid properties at any point do not change with time.

One-dimensional flow is the flow where all the flow parameters may be expressed as functions of time and one space coordinate only. The single space coordinate is usually the distance measured along the centre-line (not necessarily straight) in which the fluid is flowing. Example: the flow in a pipe is considered one - dimensional when variations of pressure and velocity occur along the length of the pipe, but any variation over the cross-section is assumed negligible.

Turbulent fluid motion can be considered as an irregular condition of flow in which various quantities (such as velocity components and pressure) show a random variation with time and space.

Detailed Solution for Fluid Mechanics - 1 - Question 20

Viscosity is the property of the fluid to resist the rate at which deformation takes place when the fluid is acted upon by shear force
