Q. What happens to the head loss when the flow rate is doubled?
  • (A) doubles
  • (B) same
  • (C) triples
  • (D) four times
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) four times

Explanation: if the flow rate is doubled, the head loss increases by a factor of four. since, the head loss is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. option (d) is the correct option.

Q. Relative roughness is
  • (A) Ο΅/d
  • (B) Ο΅*d
  • (C) Ο΅/dm
  • (D) Ο΅gd
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) Ο΅/d

Explanation: relative roughness is defined as the quantity used to measure the roughness

Q. pipes can take up
  • (A) pipes of different diameters
  • (B) pipes of the same diameters only.
  • (C) single pipe only
  • (D) short pipes only
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) pipes of different diameters

Explanation: when pipes of different diameters are connected at its ends to form a pipe, this pipe so developed is called as pipes in series. they might not have to be of the same diameters. but, having the same diameters are better as it avoids the losses so developed.

Q. What is the total loss developed in a series of pipes?
  • (A) sum of losses in each pipe only
  • (B) sum of local losses only
  • (C) sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe
  • (D) zero
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) sum of local losses plus the losses in each pipe

Explanation: when the pipes of different diameters are connected in series from end to end to form a pipe line. the total loss so developed is equal to the sum of local losses

Q. The total head loss for the system is equal to
  • (A) pipe length
  • (B) pipe diameter
  • (C) width of the reservoir
  • (D) height difference of reservoirs
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) height difference of reservoirs

Explanation: total head loss for a system is equal to the height difference of the reservoirs. height difference is denoted by the letter ‘h’. total head loss can be equated

Q. In similitude, Fapplication=Fmodel*3.44
  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) true

Explanation: a model test was conducted to determine this relation. the force and velocity that were measured in the model are to be scaled. this helps to find the force that can be expected for a real-time application.

Q. Which among the following is the standard symbol for Archimedes number?
  • (A) a
  • (B) ar
  • (C) ar
  • (D) a
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) ar

Explanation: the standard symbol for archimedes number is ar. archimedes number in fluid mechanics deals with the motion of fluids. this takes place due to the differences in their densities. it was followed by the archimedes principle.

Q. symbol for Atwood number?
  • (A) a
  • (B) ar
  • (C) ar
  • (D) a
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) a

Explanation: the standard symbol for atwood number is a. atwood’s number in fluid mechanics deals with the onset of instabilities in mixtures of fluid. it is due to the density differences in fluid.

Q. Which among the following is the standard symbol for Blake number?
  • (A) bi
  • (B) ba
  • (C) bl
  • (D) b
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) ba

Explanation: the standard symbol for blake number is b or bl. blake number in fluid mechanics deals with geology, fluid mechanics and porous media. it is due to the inertial over the viscous forces in fluid flow through porous media.
