PART -B

UNIT I

1. Derive on the basis of dimensional analysis suitable parameters to present the thrust developed by a propeller. Assume that the thrust depends on the angular velocity, speed of advance, diameter dynamic viscosity, mass density, and elasticity of the fluid medium which can be denoted by the speed of sound in the medium?

2. The pressure difference in a pipe of diameter and length due to viscous flow depends on the velocity viscosity and density .using Buckingham theorem obtains an expression

3. Explain Buckingham pi theorem with example

4. Briefly explain the types non dimensionless number

UNIT II
