(MEI MID SEMESTER EXAMINATION FEB.-2015 ME-212 FLUID MECHANICS Time: 1.30 Hours Max, Marks: 20 Note: Answer ALL questions. : Assume suitable missing data, if any. 1[a] A frustum-shaped is rotating at a constant angular speed of 200 rad/s in container filled with SAE 1OW oil at20'c(u~0.170s), as shown in Fig 1, If the thickness of the oil film on all sides is 1.2 mm, determine the power required to maintain this motion, Also determine the reduction in the required power input when the oil temperature rises 80°C 0.0078Pas). 6) 2Tow Dyan 2 we Sata E ak ! | Fgeh [b] A long solid cylinder of radius 0.8 m hinged at point A is used as an automatic gate, as shown in Fig. 2. When the water level reaches 5 m, the gate opens by turning about the hinge at point A. Determine (i) the hydrostatic force acting on the cylinder and its line of action when the gate opens and (ii) the weight of the cylinder per m length of the cylinder.

Taking the surface tension of soap solution to be 0.039 N/m, determine the work input required to inflate the bubble to a diameter of 8.5cm. (2) (b] A 20-cm-diameter, 60-cm-high vertical cylindrical container, is partially filled with 50-cm-high liquid whose density is ss0%z/m?.Now the == cylinder is rotated at a constant speed, Determine the rotational speed at + which the liquid will start spilling from the edges of the container. (2) | 8q [c]_ Water is flowing from garden hose. A child places his thumb to cover most of the hose outlet, causing a thin jet of high-speed water to emerge. The pressure in the hose just upstream of his thumb is 400 kPa. If the hose is held upward, what is the maximum height that the jet could achieve? (2) So3m 3{a] In winter, the Gangetic plains experience cold winds blowing from the Himalayas which bring about dramatic decreases in the local temperatures. Ata given time, the temperature at Dehradun is 2°C and at Kanpur, 300 km directly downstream, it is 17°C. The average wind velocity.is 40 km/hr and it is observed that the air heats up at the rate of 1°C/hr as it flows past the hotter plains, Find the rate of fall of temperature at Kanpur assuming the temperature gradient between the two cities to be constant, @ [b] A 50-ton, 6-m-diameter hemispherical dome on a level surface is filled with water, as shown in fig.3, Someone claims that he can lift this dome by making use of Pascal's law by attaching a long tube to the top and filling it with water. Determine the required height of water in the tube to lift the dome. Disregard the weight of the tube and the water in it. Q) Q-11"
