Is not a function of Reynolds number
For a given Reynolds number remains constant even on further smoothening of the pipe
Is zero irrespective of the Reynolds number
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option B.
Fluid Mechanics MCQs
Working of a __________ pump characterises mixed flow.
Turbine
Piston
Diaphragm
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option A.
The rate of shear versus the shear stress curves are time dependent for __________ fluid.
Thixotropic
Rheopectic
Both A and B
Neither A nor B
✅ The correct answer is option C.
Pick out the wrong statement about a streamline.
It is always parallel to the main direction of the fluid flow
It is a line across which there is no flow and it is equivalent to a rigid boundary
Streamlines intersect at isolated point of zero velocity and infintie velocity
The fluid lying between any two streamlines can be considered to be in isolation and the streamline spacing varies inversely as the velocity
✅ The correct answer is option A.

Specific volume
Velocity
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option B.
