43. Within a boundary layer for a steady incompressible flow, the Bernoulli equation

1. 1. holds because the flow is steady

   
   
   

   2. holds because the flow is incompressible

   
   
   

   3. holds because the flow is transitional

   
   
   

   4. does not hold because the flow is frictional

44. A flat plate of width L = 1 m is pushed down with a velocity U = 0.01 m/s towards a wall resulting in the drainage of the fluid between the plate and the wall as shown in the figure. Assume two- dimensional incompressible flow and that the plate remains parallel to the wall. The average velocity, uavg of the fluid (in m/s) draining out at the instant shown in the figure is _____ (correct to three decimal places).
    

1. 1. 1.5 m/s

   
   
   

   2. 0.1 m/s

   
   
   

   3. 0.05 m/s

   By mass conservation:- 2(s × u_avg × db) = (s. u × Lb)
   ⇒  2 × v_avg × 0.1 = 0.01 × 1
   u_avg = 0.05 m/s

   Correct Option: C

   
   By mass conservation:- 2(s × u_avg × db) = (s. u × Lb)
   ⇒  2 × v_avg × 0.1 = 0.01 × 1
   u_avg = 0.05 m/s

45. A mercury manometer is attached to a section of the pipe shown in the figure. Mercury levels are indicated when there is no water flowing through the pipe. When water starts flowing through the pipe continuously at constant rate in the direction of the arrow, the level of mercury at B.
    

1. 1. When flow starts, pressure at B will not be lower than pressure at A, therefore level of mercury at B rises.

   
   
   

   2. When flow starts, pressure at B will be lower than pressure at A, therefore level of mercury at B rises.

   
   
   

   3. A and B

   
   
   

   4. None of the above

   When flow starts, pressure at B will be lower than pressure at A, therefore level of mercury at B rises.

   Correct Option: A

   When flow starts, pressure at B will be lower than pressure at A, therefore level of mercury at B rises.
