    Given, u = x²t and v = – 2xyt

    = v = -2xyt..........(i)
    We know,
    δψ
    δy

    = -u = x²t..........(ii)
    δψ
    δy

    Integrating equation (i), we get
    ψ = –x²yt + f(y) ...(iii)
    Differentiating equation (iii) with respect to y, we get
    = -x²t + f(y)........(v)
    δψ
    δy

    Equating the value of δψ/δy from equations (ii) and (iv), we get
    –x²t =–x²t + f'(y)
    Since, f'(y) = 0, thus f(y) = C
    (where ‘C’ is constant of integration)
    ψ = –x²yt + C
    C is a numerical constant so it can be taken as zero
    ψ = –x²yt
    For equation of stream lines,
    ψ = constant
    –x²yt = constant
    For a particular instance,
    x²y = constant

  1. A fluid flow is represented by the velocity field = axî + ayĵ, where a is a constant. The equation of stream line passing through a point (1, 2) is

    Given: ux = ax and uy = ay
    Equation of steam line is,

    du
    =
    dy
    uxuy

    du
    =
    dy
    uxuy

    Integrating both sides, we have
    log(ax) = log(ay) + log c
    or ax = c'ay
    or x = cy
    Since the steam line is passed through point (1, 2), therefore
    1 = 2c
    ⇒ c =
    1
    2

    ∴ x =
    y
    2

    Hence equation of steam line is
    2x – y = 0.

  1. Figure shows the schematic for the measurement of velocity of air (density = 1.2 kg/m³) through a constant-area duct using a pitot tube and a water tube manometer. The differential head of water (density = 1000 kg/ m³) in the two columns of the manometer is 10 mm. Take acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s². The velocity of air in m/s is 10 m m

    From Bernoulli's equation

    1 - v²2
    =
    p2 - p1
    2g2g

    ⇒ v1 = √
    (p2 - p1)
    pa

    But p2 - p1 = (ρgh)water
    = 9810 × 10 × 10– 3
    = 98.1 N/m²
    ⇒ v1 = √
    2 × 98.1
    = 12.8 m/s
