Quantity of water flowing is 5400 litre per minute. If the pressure at the high end is 70kPa,find the pressure at low end.(10 marks) 5 (a) Derive an expression for discharge through venturimeter.(10 marks) 5 (b) The resisting force \'F\' of a supersonic plane dunning flight can be considered as dependent upon the length of aircraft \'l\', velocity \'v\' air viscosity ?, air density \'&partial;\' and bulk modulus of air \'K\', Express the functional relationship between these variables and the resisting force.(10 marks) 6 (a) Derive Darcy-Weisbach equation for loss of head in pipe due to friction(10 marks) 6 (b) A 5cm diameter pipe takes off abruptly from a large tank and rum abruptly to 10cm diameter and runs 45m, and next discharge directly in velocity of 1.5 m/s.compute the necessary height of water surface discharge.Take t = 0.0065 in the Darcy equation(10 marks) 7 (a) prove that the maximum velocity in a circular pipe for viscous is equal average velocity of the flow(10 marks) 7 (b) An oil of viscosity 10 poise flow between two parallel fixed plates which are kept at a distance of 50mm apart.Find the rate of flow of oil between the plates if the drop of pressure in a length of 1.2m be 0.3 N/cm^{2}. The Width of the plates Is 200mm(10 marks) 8 (a) Define
lift and drag
Displacement, momentum and energy thickness
