The head loss in turbulent flow in a pipe varies As (velocity)² Inversely as the square of diameter As velocity Inversely as the velocity TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Two fluids are flowing through two similar pipes of the same diameter. The Reynold's number is same. For the same flow rate if the viscosity of a fluid is reduced to half the value of the first fluid, the pressure drop will Data insufficient to predict relative pressure drop Increase Decrease Remain unchanged TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A centrifugal pump used to pump water is used to pump an oil with specific gravity of 0.8 at the same rate. The power consumption will now Increase Data insufficient to predict Remain same Decrease TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?

A bed of spherical particles (specific gravity 2.5) of uniform size 1500 μm is 0.5 m in diameter and 0.5 m high. In packed bed state, the porosity may be taken as 0.4. Ergun's equation for the above fluid-particle system (in SI units) is given below : Δ P/L = 375 x 10³ VOM + 10.94 x 10⁶ V²OM (SI units) If water is to be used as the fluidising medium, the minimum fluidisation velocity, VOM is 24 mm/s 28 mm/s 16 mm/s 12 mm/s TRUE ANSWER : ?
