(Com. to ME, AME)
Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 70
Note: 1. Question Paper consists of two parts (Part-A and Part-B)
2. Answer ALL the question in Part-A
3. Answer any THREE Questions from Part-B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PART –A

1. a) Define surface tension.

b) Define path line.
c) What is energy thickness?
d) Discuss about work done.
e) Define specific speed.
f) Write about draft tube.
PART -B
2. a) A simple U-tube manometer containing mercury is connected to a pipe in which a
fluid of specific gravity 0.8 and having vacuum pressure is flowing. The other end
of the manometer is open to atmosphere. Find the vacuum pressure in pipe, if the
difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 40 cm and the height of fluid in the
left from the centre of pipe is 15cm below.
b) Discuss about inverted and differential manometers.

3. a) Derive Bernoullis equation and state assumptions.

b) Explain about (i)Minor losses in pipes (ii) Pipes in series and pipes in parallel

4. a) Define stream function and velocity potential function

b) It for a two-dimensional potential flow the velocity potential is given by Á=x(2y-
1) determine the velocity at the point P(4,5). Determine also the value of stream
function à at the point P.

5. a) Find the expression for the force exerted by the jet on a °at vertical plate moving
in the direction of the jet.
b) A jet of diameter 150mm strikes a flat plate normally with a velocity of 20m/sec.
The plate is moving with a velocity of 5m/sec in the direction of the jet and away
from the jet. Find
i. The force exerted by the jet on the plate
ii. Wok done by the jet on the plate per second
