- The velocity in a three dimensional flow field for an incompressible fluid is
given by . Determine the equation of streamlines passing
through the point (1,1,1).
- Derive the relationship between Eulerian and Lagrangian points in space.
- Show that the velocity potential satisfies the Laplace
equation. Also determine the stream lines.
- Derive the Euler’s equation of motion.
- Briefly explain Pitot tube.
- Stream is rushing from a boiler through a conical pipe, the diameters of the ends of which are D and d. If V and v be the corresponding velocities of the stream and if the motion be supposed to be that of divergence from the vertex of the cone prove that where k is the pressure divided by density.
