4) In a control volume
a) The mass is strictly constant at all the times
b) The momentum is strictly constant at all the times
c) The angular momentum is strictly constant at all the times

d) None
Solution: d
All the parameters can vary in a control volume
Solution: 0.375
Accepted range: 0.35 to 0.4
For the control volume (bounded by dashed lines) and incompressible flow, we
have,
Qtop + Qright − Qlef t = 0

=⇒ 0 = Q + 0 U0 ( 3y 2δ − 2δ 3 )dy - 0 U0 dy (taking unit thickness of the plate
into the paper)
=⇒ Q 3U0 Q
δ = 8 and for U0 = 1 m/s we have δ = 0.375

taking b = h = 0.1 m we have, umax = 7.96 m/s
7) If a vane turns a water jet completely as shown in the figure, find the max-
imum jet velocity in m/s for which a force F0 of value 100 N will prevent the
vane from moving. Take ρ = 1000, D = 0.05 (all in SI units)
8) The small boat is driven at steady speed Vo by compressed air issuing from a
3 cm diameter hole at Ve = 343 m/s with respect to the compressor and Pe = 1
atm, Te = 30o C. Neglect air drag on the boat. The liquid drag on boat is kVo2 ,
where k = 19 Ns2 /m2 . Estimate the boat speed Vo (in m/s). Use P = ρRT
equation for air where R = 287 (in SI units).
=⇒ ρe Ae (Vo + Ve )2 = kVo2
9) Water enters the bottom of the cone in the figure at a uniformly increas-

ing average velocity V = Kt. If d is very small, find the water surface rise (in
mm) at t = 5 s, assuming h = 0 at t = 0 and d = 1 mm, K = 2 m/s2 , θ = 60o .
Solution: 18.4 mm
Accepted range: 18.3 to 18.5
ForRa control volume around the cone, the mass relation becomes

dt ( ρdv) − ṁin = 0 = dt [ρ 3 (htanθ) h] − ρ 4 d Kt
Solution: 0.32 m
Accepted range: 0.28 to 0.35
The CV encloses the block, moves to the left at accelerating block speed V (t),

and cuts through the inlet and outlet jets, which leave the CS at relative velocity
Vjet − VR . The force relation is:
ΣFx − arel dm = 0 − mblock ablock = ṁout uout − ṁin uin = −2ṁjet (Vjet − V )

dt = 2ρAjet (Vjet − V )

for V = 0 at t = 0
163.16t
we have V = 1+5.44t

for distance covered we have S = 0

at t = 0.07 s we have S = 0.32 m
