Module-60B: Sub: Fluid Mechanics Topic

The document discusses boundary layer concepts including: 1) A velocity distribution equation for flow over a plate where shear stress at the plate is proportional to maximum velocity and inverse of boundary layer thickness. 2) Options matching how boundary layer thickness, shear stress, and pressure gradient change along a flat plate with a uniform free stream flow. 3) A question calculating laminar sub-layer thickness based on pipe roughness and average shear stress. 4) A question calculating the distance of point A from the leading edge of a flat plate based on given boundary layer thicknesses at two points.

Topic : Boundary layer

MODULE- 60B
Concept of boundary layer and its growth.
___________________________________________________________________ 1. Velocity distribution in a boundary layer flow over a plate is given by = 1.5 where, = y/; y is the distance measured normal to the plate; is the boundary layer thickness; and is the maximum velocity at y = . If the shear stress , acting on the plate is given by = K( )/ where, is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, K takes the value of (A) 0 (B) 1 (C) 1.5 (D) None of the above
2. A flat plate is kept in an infinite fluid medium. The fluid has a uniform freestream velocity parallel to the plate. For the laminar boundary layer formed on the plate, pick the correct option matching Columns I and II. Column I P. Boundary layer thickness Q. Shear stress at the plate. R. Pressure gradient along the plate. Column II 1. decreases in the flow direction 2. Increases in the flow direction 3. remains unchanged Codes: P Q R (a) (b) (c) (d) 3. 1 2 1 2 2 2 1 1 3 2 1 3 (a) (c) 4. 0.50 m (b) 1.00 m (d) 0.80 m 1.25 m

The flow of water (mass density = 1000 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity = 10-6 m2/s) in a commercial pipe, having equivalent roughness ks as 0.12 mm, yields an average shear stress at the pipe boundary = 600 N/m2. The value of ks/ being the thickness of laminar sub-layer) for this pipe is (A) 0.25 (B) 0.50 (C) 6.0 (D) 8.0

The thickness of the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate at a point A is 2 cm and at a point B, 1m downstream of A, is 3 cm. What is the distance of A from the leading edge of the plate?
