Momentum Transfer (Set 2) Flashcards
As one of the transport phenomena, the concepts in momentum transfer (also known as fluid mechanics) are crucial for the design, operation, and maintenance of fluid flow equipment such as pipes, pumps/compressors, turbines/expanders, agitators, and metering devices.
For the production of very high vacuum, a ____ pump is normally used.
diffusion
In parallel pipe problems, the
head loss is the same through each pipe.
Fluid flow through a packed bed is represented by the ____ equation.
Ergun’s
____ is an example of axial flow impeller.
Propeller
Froude number is not a factor
when there is no vortex formation.
If three pipes of different diameters, lengths & friction factors are connected in parallel, then (where, Q = flow rate, V= fluid velocity f = friction factor).
Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3
Horsepower requirement for given pump capacity depends upon the
all of these
Bernoulli’s equation accounts for the
different forms of mechanical energy
____ pumps are a group of vacuum pumps.
Hyter
Plunger pumps are used for
higher pressure
What is the ratio of displacement thickness to nominal thickness for a linear distribution of velocity in the boundary layer on a flat plate ?
0.5
In turbulent flow, the
shear stresses are generally larger than in a similar laminar flow.
Momentum correction factor used in fluid flow problems accounts for the
non uniform direction of velocities at inlet & outlet sections.
Design of the casing of centrifugal pump should be such as to minimise the
loss of kinetic head
Which of the following is used for pumping crude oil from oil well ?
Duplex/triplex reciprocating pump
The energy loss in flow through ven-turimeter is less than that through flow nozzle, because in case of a flow nozzle, the
sudden expansion of flow in the downstream occurs.
____ flow means the flow of incompressible fluid with no shear.
Potential
The continuity equation
relates mass flow rate along a stream tube.
The energy loss over a length of pipeline according to Darcy-Weisbach equation for pipe flow is…..the mean velocity of flow.
directly proportional to square of

pseudoplastic
Stoke’s law is valid, when NRe, p is less than
2
Froude number is the ratio of
inertial stress to gravitational stress.
Normal depth in open channel flow is the depth of flow in the channel
corresponding to uniform flow.
