Top Questions on Fluid statics
- For assessing the compliance with the emissions standards of incineration plants, a correction needs to be applied to the measured concentrations of air pollutants. The emission standard (based on 11% Oxygen) for HCl is 50 mg/Nm3 and the measured concentrations of HCl and Oxygen in flue gas are 42 mg/Nm3 and 13%, respectively.
Assuming 21% Oxygen in air, the CORRECT statement is: - A flow velocity field \(\vec V:\vec V(x, y)\) for a fluid is represented by
\(\vec V = 3\hat i+ (5x)\hat j\)
In the context of the fluid and the flow, which one of the following statements is CORRECT? - A Venturi meter with a throat diameter \( d = 2 \) cm measures the flow rate in a pipe of diameter \( D = 6 \) cm, as shown in the figure. A U-tube manometer is connected to measure the pressure drop. Assume the discharge coefficient is independent of the Reynolds number and geometric ratios. If the volumetric flow rate through the pipe is doubled (\( Q_2 = 2Q_1 \)), the corresponding ratio of the manometer readings \( \frac{\Delta_{h2}}{\Delta_{h1}} \), rounded off to the nearest integer, is ____.
- A cylindrical tank with a diameter of \(500\ \text{mm}\) contains water (density \(=1\ \text{g}\cdot\text{cm}^{-3}\)) up to a height \(h\). A \(5\ \text{mm}\) diameter round nozzle, whose center is \(1\ \text{cm}\) above the base of the tank, has its exit open to the atmosphere. The pressure above the water level in the tank is maintained at \(2\ \text{bar (abs)\). Neglect all frictional and entry/exit losses. Take \(g=10\ \text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}\) and atmospheric pressure \(=1\ \text{bar}\). The absolute value of initial \(\dfrac{dh}{dt}\) (in \(\text{mm}\,\text{s}^{-1}\)) when \(h=51\ \text{cm}\) is ____________ (rounded off to two decimal places).}
- If the hydraulic conductivity is 0.2 meter/day and thickness of the aquifer is 1.5 meter, the transmissivity of the aquifer will be
