2 (b) A sliding gate 3m and 1.5m high situated in a vertical plane has a coefficient of friction between itself and guide of 0.18. If the gate weight is 19n and its upper edge is at a depth of 9m, what vertical force is required to raise it? Neglect buoyancy force on gate.(10 marks) 3 (a) Starting from the Navier Stokes equation for an incompressible Newtonian fluid derive Bernoulli's equation starting the assumptions.(10 marks) 3 (b) Derive the expression for stagnation density and stagnation temperature.(10 marks) 4 (a) A pipeline of length 2400m is used for power transmission. If 115KW power is to be transmitted through the pipe in which water having a pressure of 500 N/cm2 at inlet is flowing? Find the diameter of the pipe and efficiency of transmission if the pressure drop over the length of pipe is 100 N/cm2. Take f=0.026 also find diameter if pipe corresponding to maximum efficiency of transmission.(10 marks)


Write short note on.

4 (b) (i) Moody's diagram(5 marks) 4 (b) (ii) Major and minor losses.(5 marks) 5 (a) A normal shock wave occurs in a duct in which air is flowing at a Mach number of 1.5. The static pressure and temperature upstream of the shock wave is 1.5 bar and 270°C. Determine pressure, temperature and mach number downstream of the shock. Also calculate strength of shock.(10 marks) 5 (b) Explain Prandtl's mixing length theory.(10 marks) 6 (a) The velocity profile within a laminar boundary layer over a flat plate is given by the equation.
u/U =2(y/δ) - (y/δ)2
Where U is the mean stream velocity and δ is the boundary layer thickness. Determine the displacement thickness and momentum thickness.
