(Answer all the questions. The figure in the margin indicate full marks)

1. Differentiate: (4)
(i) Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid
(ii) Streamline and Streamtube
(iii)Real fluid and Ideal fluid
(iv) Laminar flow and Turbulent flow

2. In the following figure, the diameter of the pipe is reduced from 300mm to (6)
100mm. Flow velocity of water is 3 m/s at section 1. Find the
 Weight flow rate
 Volume flow rate
 Velocity at section 2

3. Incompressible steady flow in the inlet between parallel plates in the following (10)
figure is uniform, u = U0 = 8 cm/s, while downstream the flow develops into the
parabolic laminar profile u = az(z0 - z), where a is a constant. If z0 = 4 cm and the
fluid is SAE 30 oil at 20°C, what is the value of umax in cm/s?

Hints:
For incompressible flow
Whrere b = width of the plate
