of glycerine is assumed as 1.50Pa.s and 1260kg/m? respectively.
Estimate: 1) The boundary shear stress in the pipe due to the flow.

ii) Head loss in a length of 10m of pipe. iii)
Power developed by the flow in a distance of 10m.

surface and U is the free stream velocity.

Obtain Von — Karman momentum integral equation from conservation principles. (10) 11
a) Derive an expression for i) displacement thickness and ii) momentum thickness. (6) b)
A 2.5m ship model was tested in fresh water ( =1090kg/m?) and measurements (4) indicated
that there was a resistance of 45N when the model was moved at 2m/s. Work out the

velocity of 40m prototype. Also calculate the force required to drive the prototype at this
speed through sea water (=1025kg/m’).

12 a) Define the following: i) boundary layer thickness ii) displacement thickness (4) 111)

momentum thickness and iv) energy thickness.

b) Explain: i)Geometric similarity ii)Kinematic similarity iii) Dynamic similarity. (6) 13 Show
that the power P developed in a water turbine can be expressed as: =
