In the pipe network shown in the figure, all pipes have the same cross-section and can be assumed to have the same friction factor. The pipes connecting points W, N, and S with point J have an equal length L. The pipe connecting points J and E has a length 10L. The pressures at the ends N, E, and S are equal. The flow rate in the pipe connecting W and J is Q. Assume that the fluid flow is steady, incompressible, and the pressure losses at the pipe entrance and junction are negligible. Consider the following statements:
I : The flow rate in pipe connecting J and E is Q/21.
II: The pressure difference between J and N is equal to the pressure difference between J and E.
$$ \text { Which one of the following options is CORRECT? } $$
Steady, compressible flow of air takes place through an adiabatic converging-diverging nozzle, as shown in the figure. For a particular value of pressure difference across the nozzle, a stationary normal shock wave forms in the diverging section of the nozzle. If $E$ and $F$ denote the flow conditions just upstream and downstream of the normal shock, respectively, which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?

The velocity field of a certain two-dimensional flow is given by
V(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) = ๐(๐ฅ๐ฬ โ ๐ฆ๐ฬ)
where ๐ = 2 s-1. The coordinates ๐ฅ and ๐ฆ are in meters. Assume gravitational effects to be negligible.
If the density of the fluid is 1000 kg/m3 and the pressure at the origin is 100 kPa, the pressure at the location (2 m, 2 m) is _____________ kPa.
(Answer in integer)
Consider a unidirectional fluid flow with the velocity field given by
V(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ, ๐ง, ๐ก) = ๐ข(๐ฅ, ๐ก) ๐ฬ
where ๐ข(0,๐ก) = 1. If the spatially homogeneous density field varies with time ๐ก as
๐(๐ก) = 1 + 0.2๐โ๐ก
the value of ๐ข(2, 1) is ______________. (Rounded off to two decimal places) Assume all quantities to be dimensionless.
