Answer the any four questions:

1 Define Newtonian fluids with examples?

A fluid which follow the Newton`s law of viscosity is called Newtonian fluid.
Examples: water, air, oil etc.
2 Define pressure head?
A vertical height of the liquid corresponding to a particular pressure is known as
pressure head
P=wh,
H=p/w
3 Define the following (i) absolute pressure (ii) gauge pressure?
4 What is manometer? How are they classified?
5 State continuity equation?
6 Define laminar and turbulent flow?

GROUP B
Marks: 514 = 70

1 a (i)Explain the following 1.capillarity 2.surface tension 3.compressibility

) (ii) a gauge fitted to a compressor shown a reading of 30KN/m 2.calculate the
corresponding the absolute pressure in (i)KN/m 2 (ii) m of water (iii) m of Hg
(OR)
b (i)A simple manometer is used to measure the pressure of oil of relative density 0.8
) flowing in a pipe.it right limb is open to the atmosphere and the left limb is open
to the atmosphere and the left limb is connected to the pipe. The center of the
pipe is 150 mm below the level of mercury in the tight limb. If the difference of
mercury level in the two limbs is 250 mm, determine the absolute pressure of the
 oil in the pipe in KN/m2.
(ii) explain the working principle of diaphragm pressure gauge with neat sketch
2 a (i)Drive and expression for Bernoulli`s theorem and its application, limitations.
) (ii)Determine the sizes of pipe line with discharge 200 liters per minute of water
with velocity of 0.4 m/sec.
(OR)
b (i)Describe the working of a pitot tube with neat sketch and also calculate actual

(ii)A pipe line supplying water to a hydraulic motor is 1.5 km long .The gross head
available is 200 m and maximum output of the motor is 70Kw.The efficiency of the
motor is 85%.Calculate the size of pipe if the losses in the pipe at full load
conditions do not exceed 12% of gross head. Take f=0.032.Neglect all losses other
than friction?
