b) Explain how Reynold’s experiment is conducted in the lab and bring its practical uses.
2a) A Pitot tube was used to measure the quantity of water flowing in a pipe of 0.30m diameter. The
water was raised to a height of 0.25m above the centre line of pipe in the vertical limb of the tube. If
the mean velocity is 0.78 times the velocity at the centre and coefficient of Pitot tube is 0.98, find the
discharge in the pipe line. The static pressure head at the centre of the pipe is 0.2 m.

2. a) Water flows through a horizontal venturimeter of inlet diameter 15 cm and inlet pressure 215
kpa (absolute). Find the minimum throat diameter for the meter to pass a discharge of 150 lps
without causing cavitations. Assume saturation vapour pressure of water = -80 kpa (guage).
Assume atmospheric pressure = 76cm of mercury and Cd of the meter is 0.978.
b) Discuss the Characteristics of boundary layer along a thin flat plate with neat sketch.
