✅ The correct answer is option B.
Fluid Mechanics MCQs
Two piping system are said to be equivalent, when the __________ are same.
Fluid flow rate & friction loss
Length & friction factor
Diameter & friction factor
Length & diameter
✅ The correct answer is option A.
The inherent characteristic of an equal percentage valve relating flow rate ‘q’ with valve stem movement ‘x’ are described by the equation
dq/dx = K
dq/dx = K.q
dq/dx = K/q
dq/dx = Kq²
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Mach number is defined as the ratio of the local flow velocity to the sonic velocity in the fluid. For what value of Mach number, the gases are considered incompressible?

50
1
✅ The correct answer is option A.
A centrifugal pump loses prime after starting. The reason of this trouble may be
Incomplete priming
Too high a suction lift
Low available NPSH and air leaks in the suction pipe
All of the above
✅ The correct answer is option D.
The time taken for gravity flow of a fixed volume of liquid (as in Redwood viscometer) is directly proportional to its
