Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluids interact with surfaces.
Question 2.
What is the significance of shear stress in fluid flow?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the forces acting parallel to a surface.
3Question 3.
What does wall stress refer to in fluid mechanics?
- Stress on the liquid surface
- Stress exerted by fluid on boundaries
- Internal stress in fluids
Show hintHide hint
Consider the interaction between fluid and wall.
4Question 4.
Is vorticity present in irrotational flow?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Understand the characteristics of irrotational flow.
Question 5.
A fluid flows between two parallel plates with a velocity gradient of 5 m/s per meter. Calculate the shear stress if the dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 0.8 Pa.s.
Show hintHide hint
Identify the parameters needed for shear stress calculation.
Question 6.
A pipe has an acute angle bend, and water flows through it at varying velocities. Explain how average velocity through a cross-section at the bend can be computed.
