Explanation: It serves all the aspects



4 - Question

The equation of friction loss in a pipe of length l and diameter d through which fluid flows with velocity v is
a) h i = 4 f V 2/d g
b) h i = 4 f V 2/d 2 g
c) h i = 4 f V 2/d 2 g
d) h i = 4 f V 2/2 g
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: Here f is any constant with no dimensions whatsoever.



5 - Question

Bernoulli’s equation for fluid flow along a stream line is given as
a) p/w + V 2/2 g + y = 2
b) p/w + V/2 g + y = constant
c) p/w + V 2/2 g + y = 1
d) p/w + V 2/2 g + y = constant
View Answer Answer: d
Explanation: This is the Bernoulli’s equation and is dimensionally homogenous.



6 - Question
