Question 1 |
A two dimensional flow has velocities in x and y directions given by u=2xyt and v=-y^2 t, where t denotes time. The equation for streamline passing through x=1, \; y=1 is
x^2y=1 | |
xy^2=1 | |
x^2y^2=1 | |
x/y^2=1 |
Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} u &=2 x y t \\ v &=-y^{2} t \\ \frac{d x}{u} &=\frac{d y}{v}=\frac{d z}{w} \\ \frac{d x}{2 x y t} &=\frac{d y}{-y^{2} t} \\ -y d x &=2 x d y \\ \ln x y^{2} &=c \\ x y^{2} &=1 \end{aligned}
Question 2 |
For a two-dimensional, incompressible flow having velocity components u and v in the x and y directions, respectively, the expression
\frac{\partial (u^2)}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial (uv)}{\partial y}
can be simplified to
\frac{\partial (u^2)}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial (uv)}{\partial y}
can be simplified to
u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+u\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} | |
2u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+u\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} | |
2u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} | |
u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} |
Question 2 Explanation:
\frac{\partial\left(u^{2}\right)}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial(u v)}{\partial y}
By differentiating:
\Rightarrow 2 u\left[\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\right]+u \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}
\Rightarrow u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\left[u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+u \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}\right]+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}
According to continity eq. : \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0
So, u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}
By differentiating:
\Rightarrow 2 u\left[\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\right]+u \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}
\Rightarrow u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\left[u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+u \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}\right]+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}
According to continity eq. : \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0
So, u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}

Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} A_{1} V_{1} &=A_{2} V_{2} \\ 0.2 \times V_{1} &=0.02 \times 50 \\ V_{1} &=\frac{1}{10} \times 50=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}
Applying BE
\begin{aligned} \frac{P_{1}}{w}+\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{2 g}+z_{1} &=\frac{P_{2}}{w}+\frac{V_{2}^{2}}{2 g}+z_{2} \; \; \; (\because z_{1}=z_{2})\\ \frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{\rho_{\text {air }} g} &=\frac{V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}}{2 g} \\ P_{1}-P_{2} &=\left(\frac{50^{2}-5^{2}}{2}\right) \times 1.23\\ &=1522.125 \mathrm{Pa}=1.52 \mathrm{kPa} \end{aligned}

Which one of the following expressions for v is valid?
-4xz+6xy | |
-4xy-4xz | |
4xz-6xy | |
4xy+4xz |
Question 4 Explanation:
\vec{V}=\left(2 x^{2}-2 y^{2}\right) \hat{i}+v \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}
For Incompressible flow
\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial V}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial W}{\partial z} &=0 \\ 4 x+\frac{\partial V}{\partial y} &=0 \\ \frac{\partial V}{\partial y} &=-4 x \\ v &=-4 x y+f(x, z) \end{aligned}
f(x,z) is an arbitary function of x and z
Hence the most suitable answer is option (B)
For Incompressible flow
\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial V}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial W}{\partial z} &=0 \\ 4 x+\frac{\partial V}{\partial y} &=0 \\ \frac{\partial V}{\partial y} &=-4 x \\ v &=-4 x y+f(x, z) \end{aligned}
f(x,z) is an arbitary function of x and z
Hence the most suitable answer is option (B)

Resultant acceleration:
\begin{aligned} a &=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20} \\ &=\sqrt{4 \times 5}=2 \sqrt{5} \end{aligned}
\vec{V}=\left(-x^{2}+3 y\right) \hat{i}+(2 x y) \hat{j}
where \quad u=-x^{2}+3 y \text { and } v=2 x y

Question 8 Explanation:
\vec{v}=2 x y \hat{i}-y^{2} \hat{j}
where u=2 x y and v=-y^{2}
Equation of stream line,

On integrating, we get
\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \log _{e} x&=-\log _{e} y+\log _{e} c \\ \log _{e} x^{1 / 2}+\log _{e} y&=\log _{e} c \\ \log _{e} x^{1 / 2} y&=\log _{e} c \\ \text { or } \quad x^{1 / 2} y&=c \end{aligned}
where u=2 x y and v=-y^{2}
Equation of stream line,
\begin{aligned} \frac{d x}{u} &=\frac{d y}{v} \\ \frac{d x}{2 x y} &=\frac{d y}{-y^{2}} \\ \text{or}\quad \frac{d x}{2 x} &=-\frac{d y}{y} \end{aligned}
On integrating, we get
\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \log _{e} x&=-\log _{e} y+\log _{e} c \\ \log _{e} x^{1 / 2}+\log _{e} y&=\log _{e} c \\ \log _{e} x^{1 / 2} y&=\log _{e} c \\ \text { or } \quad x^{1 / 2} y&=c \end{aligned}

v^{2}/u^{2} | |
u/v |
Question 10 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} d \phi&=\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x} d x+\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y} d y\\ \therefore \qquad \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}&=-u\\ \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}&=-v \\ \therefore \qquad d \phi&=-u d x-v d y \\ \text { If } \phi&=\text { constant, } d \phi=0 \\ \therefore \quad\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\phi}&=-\frac{u}{v} \end{aligned}
