  • (A) rotameters
  • (B) pulley plates
  • (C) rotary piston
  • (D) pilot static tube
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) pilot static tube

Explanation: pilot static tube is a system that uses an automatic control scheme to detect pressure. it has several holes connected to one side of the device. these outside holes are called as a pressure transducer, which

Q. What is D’Alembert’s Paradox?
  • (A) resistance= 0
  • (B) drag force= 0
  • (C) temperature = 0
  • (D) pressure gradient= 0
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) drag force= 0

Explanation: d’alembert’s paradox states that for an incompressible and inviscid flow potential flow, the drag force is equal to zero. the fluid is moving at a constant velocity with respect to its relative fluid.

Q. The steady- state flow must satisfy
  • (A) kirchhoff’s law
  • (B) newtons law
  • (C) rutherford’s experiment
  • (D) kepler’s law
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) kirchhoff’s law

Explanation: the steady state flow must satisfy kirchhoff’s first and second law. the first law states that the total flow into the junction equals the total flow away from the junction. second law is called as the law of conservation of mass. it states that between two junctions, the head loss is independent of the path followed.

Q. depend on the friction factor?
  • (A) pipe diameter
  • (B) fluid density
  • (C) viscosity
  • (D) weight
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) weight

Explanation: the friction factor(f) depends on the velocity of flow, fluid density, pipe diameter and the viscosity of the pipe.

  • (A) moody chart
  • (B) bar chart
  • (C) scatter chart
  • (D) column histogram
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) moody chart

Explanation: moody chart is a graph of frictional factor(f) vs reynolds numbers. it gives various values corresponding to the

Q. Darcy- Weisbach equation gives relation between
  • (A) pressure and temperature
  • (B) mass, volume and pressure
  • (C) head loss and pressure loss
  • (D) pressure loss only
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) head loss and pressure loss

Explanation: darcy-weisbach equation relates the head loss and pressure loss due to friction along a given pipe with a specified length. it contains a dimensionless friction factor called the darcy friction factor. the equation was named after henry darcy and julius weisbach.

Q. Which among the following is formula for friction factor of circular pipes?
  • (A) 16/re
  • (B) 64/re
  • (C) re/16
  • (D) re/64
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) 64/re

Explanation: circular pipes have a diameter treated in a round manner. for a fluid flow which is laminar head loss is directly proportional to the fluid velocity. thus, friction factor is inversely proportional to its velocity. therefore, the correct option is ‘64/re’.

Q. Loss of head due to friction is
  • (A) directly proportional to hydraulic radius
  • (B) inversely proportional to velocity
  • (C) inversely proportional to hydraulic radius
  • (D) directly proportional to gravitational constant
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) inversely proportional to hydraulic radius

Explanation: hydraulic radius is one of the properties of a fluid flow in a channel. it controls the water discharge. it also determines the amount of work the channel

Q. The formula for hydraulic diameter is
  • (A) 4a/p
  • (B) 4ap
  • (C) 4av
  • (D) 4v
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) 4a/p

Explanation: hydraulic diameter handles the flow in non-circular channels and tubes. the most suitable term to calculate the hydraulic diameter for a round tube is dh= 4a/p. where ‘a’ is the cross-sectional area and ‘p’ is the wetted perimeter.

Q. What are the reasons for minor head loses in a pipe?
  • (A) friction
  • (B) heat
  • (C) valves and bends
  • (D) temperature
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) valves and bends

Explanation: minor losses play an important role in calculating the flow, pressure and energy of the piping system. fluid that moves through the pipe carries momentum and energy due to the forces acting on them.
