    Third Semester
    Chemical Engineering
    CH 2203 FLUID MECHANICS
    (Regulation 2008)
    Time : Three hours

    Maximum : 100 Marks


    Answer ALL questions
    PART A (10 2 = 20 Marks)

    1.

    Define non-Newtonian fluids. Give one example.

    2.

    An oil-storage tank has a flat, horizontal, circular roof 36 m in diameter.


    Calculate the force exerted by the atmosphere on the roof.

    3.

    A ship having a wetted perimeter of 50 m and length of 140 m is to travel at


    5 m/s. If the density of sea water is 1025 kg/m3, calculate the drag force. Take
    the drag co-efficient as 0.002.

    4.

    Draw the velocity-radius plot in steady, laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid in a


    circular pipe.

    5.

    Which concept is essential while designing full-size equipment from tests on


    small-scale physical models?

    6.

    Distinguish between notches and weirs.

    7.

    List the minor losses encountered in pipe systems.

    8.

    Name the velocity ranges for which a fluidized bed can exist.

    9.

    Why are diaphragm pumps widely used as metering pumps?

    10.

    How are the steam-jet ejectors, found more useful in industrial applications?
    PART B (5 16 = 80 Marks)

    11.

    (a)

    Find the specific gravity, dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity of an


    oil having density 981 kg/m3. The shear stress at a point in oil is
    0.25 N/m2 and velocity gradient at that point is 0.2 per second. Also
    determine the compressibility of the liquid, if the pressure is increased
    from 0.7 MPa to 1.3 MPa while the volume decreases by 0.15 percent.
    Or

    (b)

    A helium balloon is at the same pressure and temperature as the


    surrounding air of 1 atmosphere and 20C. The diameter of the balloon is
    3 m. How much payload can the balloon lift, if the weight of the plastic
    skin of the balloon is negligible?

    12.

    (a)

    A metallic ball of 0.002 m drops in a fluid of specific gravity 0.9 and


    viscosity 1.5 Ns/m2. If the weight density of the ball is 120 kN/m3, find
    the drag force exerted by fluid on metallic ball, the form drag, the skin
    drag and the terminal velocity of ball in fluid.
    Or

    (b)

    13.

    (a)

    Obtain an expression for velocity distribution in turbulent flow for


    (i)

    Smooth pipes and

    (8)

    (ii)

    Rough Pipes.

    (8)

    State Buckinghams Pi-theorem and also explain various types of


    similarities.
    Or

    14.

    (b)

    Explain the principle of venturimeter with a neat sketch and discuss the
    relative merits and demerits of venturimeter with respect to orifice
    meter.

    (a)

    A pumping plant forces water through a 600 mm diameter main, the


    friction head being 27 m. In order to reduce the power consumption, it is
    proposed to lay another main of appropriate diameter along the side of
    the existing one, so that two pipes may work in parallel for the entire
    length and reduce the friction head to 9.6 m only. Find the diameter of
    the new main if, with the exception of diameter, it is similar to the
    existing one in every respect.
    Or

    15.

    (b)

    Explain the fluid flow (concepts) though packed beds and fluidized beds.

    (a)

    Explain with neat sketches, the working of air lift pump and single
    acting reciprocating pump.
    Or

    (b)

    A centrifugal fan is used to take flue gas at rest and at a pressure of 737
    mm of mercury and a temperature of 93.3C and discharge it at a
    pressure of 765 mm of mercury and a velocity of 46 m/s. Calculate the
    power required to move 16990 m3/hour of gas. The efficiency and
    molecular weight of the gas are 65 percent and 31.3 respectively.
