Turbulent Flow · Fluid Mechanics · GATE ME

The instantaneous stream-wise velocity of a turbulent flow is given as follows: $$$u\left( {x,y,z,t} \right) = \overline u \left( {x,y,z} \right) + \mu '\left( {x,y,z,t} \right)$$$

Water at $${25^0}C$$ is flowing through a $$1.0km$$ long $$G.I.$$ pipe of $$200mm$$ diameter at the rate of $$0.07$$ $${m^3}/s.$$ If value of Darcy friction factor for this pipe is $$0.02$$ and density of water is $$1000\,\,kg/{m^3}$$, the pumping power (in $$kW$$) required to maintain the flow is

A siphon draws water from a reservoir and discharges it out at atmospheric pressure. Assuming ideal fluid and the reservoir is large, the velocity at point $$P$$ in the siphon tube is:

A syringe with a frictionless plunger contains water and has at its end a $$100$$ $$mm$$ long needle of $$1$$ $$mm$$ diameter. The internal diameter of the syringe is $$10$$ $$mm.$$ Water density is $$1000\,\,kg/{m^3}.$$ . The plunger is pushed in at $$10$$ $$mm/s$$ and the water comes out as a jet.

Neglect losses in the cylinder and assume fully developed laminar viscous flow throughout the needle; the Darcy friction factor is $${64/R_e}$$. Where $${R_e}$$ is the Reynolds number. Given that the viscosity of water is $$1.0 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\,kg/m\,\,\,s,$$ the force $$F$$ in newtons required on the plunger is

Shown below are three tanks, tank $$1$$ without an orifice tube and tanks $$2$$ and $$3$$ with orifice tubes as shown. Neglecting losses and assuming the diameter of orifice to be much less than that of the tank, write expressions for the exit velocity in each of the three tanks.
