Question:
An ideal fluid with pressure $p$ flows through a horizontal pipe with radius $r$. If the radius of the pipe is increased by a factor of 2, which of the following most likely gives the new pressure?
An ideal fluid with pressure $p$ flows through a horizontal pipe with radius $r$. If the radius of the pipe is increased by a factor of 2, which of the following most likely gives the new pressure?
Show Hint
In fluid dynamics, the pressure change depends on the flow rate, fluid velocity, and other parameters.

- $p$
- $4p$
- $16p$
- The new pressure cannot be determined without more information
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The pressure change depends on the flow rate and other factors like the velocity of the fluid, which cannot be determined just from the change in radius. Therefore, more information is needed to determine the new pressure.

Consider a pair of point vortices with clockwise circulation \( \Gamma \) each. The distance between their centers is \( a \), as shown in the figure. Assume two-dimensional, incompressible, inviscid flow. Which one of the following options is correct?
- For a two-dimensional incompressible flow over a flat plate, the laminar boundary layer thickness at a distance \( x \) from the leading edge is \( \delta \). If \( Re_x \) is the Reynolds number defined based on length scale \( x \), \[ \frac{\delta}{x} \propto \_\_\_\_\_\_. \]
- In a low-speed airplane, a venturimeter with a 1.3:1 area ratio is used for airspeed measurement. The airplane’s maximum speed at sea level is 90 m/s. If the density of air at sea level is 1.225 kg/m³, the maximum pressure difference between the inlet and the throat of the venturimeter is \_\_\_\_ kPa (rounded off to two decimal places).
