2. Briefly explain the flow in a C-D nozzle with the help of a neat sketch.

What are the characteristics of a vortex flow State and prove the Kutta-Zhukovsky theorem. 5+5

3. Draw a neat sketch of a supersonic wind tunnel circuit and explain the function of each component.

Discuss lift on rotating cylinder in uniform flow. 5+5

4. How does Van der Waals equation differ from ideal gas equation? Explain.

A point source is a point where an incompressible fluid is imagined to be created and sent out evenly in all directions. Determine its velocity potential and stream function. 5+5

5. If the stream function for steady flow is given by w y2 — x2, determine whether the flow is rotational or irrotational. Then determine the velocity potential

The stream function for a two-dimensional flow is given by 2xy. Calculate the velocity at the point 3). Also find the velocity potential function. 5+5

6. Distinguish between the following:

Steady and Unsteady flow

Rotational and Irrotational flow

In a two-dimensional incompressible flow, the fluid velocity components are given by

u =x-4yand v

Show that the velocity potential exists and determine its form. Also find the stream function. 5+5

7. Differentiate between the following:

Streamlined body and Bluff body

Friction drag and Pressure drag

A flat plate 2 m x 2 m moves at 40 km/hour in stationary air of density 1.25kg/m3. If the coefficient of drag and lift are 0.2 and 0.8 respectively, find

the lift force,

the drag force,

the resultant force, and

the power required to keep the plate in motion. .5+5

8. Define Doublet. Draw its streamlines.
How are streamlines and equipotential lines related to each other? Explain. 5+5
