The difference between the notch and weir is that the notch is of bigger size and the weir is of a smaller size.
An open tank containing liquid is moving with an acceleration on an inclined plane. The inclination of the free surface of the liquid will be __________ to the acceleration of the tank.
Euler's number is the ratio of __________ force to pressure force.
The most economical section of a rectangular channel is one which has hydraulic mean depth or hydraulic radius equal to
The ratio of velocity of fluid in an undisturbed stream to the velocity of sound wave is known as Mach number.
The length AB of a pipe ABC in which the liquid is flowing has diameter (d1) and is suddenly contracted to diameter (d2) at B which is constant for the length BC. The loss of head due to sudden contraction, assuming coefficient of contraction as 0.62, is
All the gases are considered to have compressible flow and all the liquids are considered to have incompressible flow.
