Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

Direction: Consider a linear programming problem with two variable and two constraints. The objective function is maximize x1 + x2. The corner points of the feasible region are (0, 0), (0,2) (2, 0) and (4/3, 4/3)

  1. The ratio  
    PA − PB
    .
    (1/2)ρu0²

    (where pA and pB are the pressures at section A and B, respectively, and ρ is the density of the fluid), is
    1. 1
      [1 + (δ/H)]²
    2. 1
      [1 − (δ/H)]²
    3. 1
      [1 − (2δ/H)]²
    4. 1
      1 + (δ/H)
Correct Option: B

Applying Bernoulli’s equation at sections A and B, we get

we get
