5. The stream function for a two dimensional flow is given by 2xy, calculate the velocity at the
point (2,3). Find the velocity potential function also.
6. A pipe of diameter 400mm carries water at a velocity of 25m/s. The pressure at the points A
and B are given as 29.43 N/cm2 and 22.563 N/cm2 respectively while the datum head at A
and B are 28m and 30m. Find the loss of head between A and B.

SECTION C
7. Find the head lost due to friction in a pipe of diameter of 300mm and length 50m through
which water is flowing at a velocity of 3m/s using Darcy equation and Czezys formula for
which C= 60. Given kinematic viscosity 0.01 stokes.
8. Derive an expression for the rate of flow of fluid through venturimeter.
9. The pressure difference in a pipe of diameter D and length l due to turbulent flow depends
upon the velocity V, viscosity, density, and roughness k. Using Buckingham’s pi theorem
