For a fully developed laminar flow of water (dynamic viscosity $0.001$ $P_{a-s}$) through a pipe of radius $5$ $cm$, the axial pressure gradient is −$10$ $Pa/m$. The magnitude of axial velocity (in $m/s$) at a radial location of $0.2$ $cm$ is _______
The head loss for a laminar incompressible flow through a horizontal circular pipe is $h_1$. Pipe length and fluid remaining the same, if the average flow velocity doubles and the pipe diameter reduces to half its previous value, the head loss is $h_2$. The ratio $h_2$/$h_1$ is $1$ $4$ $8$ $16$
If the fluid velocity for a potential flow is given by $V(x,y)=u(x,y)i+v(x,y)j$ with usual notations, then the slope of the potential line at $(x,y)$ is $\dfrac{v}{u} \\$ $-\dfrac{u}{v} \\$ $\dfrac{u^2}{v^2} \\$ $\dfrac{u}{v}$
A Prandtl tube (Pitot-static tube with $C$=$1$) is used to measure the velocity of water. The differential manometer reading is $10$ $mm$ of liquid column with a relative density of $10$. Assuming $g$ = $9.8$ $m$/$s^2$, the velocity of water (in $m/s$) is ________
