3. A: At all the boundaries no slip boundary condition is valid
4. B. For incompressible flow, under steady state, the z directional Navier Stoke’s equation is
reduced as (assuming flow in z direction):
dp ∂ 2v ∂ 2v
− − µ 2z + 2z + ρ gz =
0
dz ∂x ∂y
(Similar expression as obtained for flow through a pipe)
As the pipe is horizontal, there will be no gravity effect.
So, the governing equation is reduced as:
dp ∂ 2v ∂ 2v
+ µ 2z + 2z =0
dz ∂x ∂y
For a pressure difference P 0 -P L over a length of pipe L, we get
P 0 − PL ∂ 2v ∂ 2v
+ µ 2z + 2z =0
L ∂x ∂y
5. D: For getting the correct value of v z the easiest method is substitution of each value pf v z to the
above obtained governing equation. Substituting the correct answer in the second derivative
term, we get,
