Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. In a steady flow through a nozzle, the flow velocity on the nozzle axis is given by v = u0 (1 + 3x/L)i, where x is the distance along the axis of the nozzle from its inlet plane and L is the length of the nozzle. The time required for a fluid particle on the axis to travel from the inlet to the exit plane of the nozzle is
