- 1A cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \mathrm{~m}$. It is maintained at temperature $360 \mathrm{~K}$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \mathrm{~K}$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ and height $h=9 \mathrm{~m}$ above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$, pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \mathrm{~K}$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.View Solution

($1$) Considering the air flow to be streamline, the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is
. . . . .$\mathrm{gm} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$.
($2$) When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top, a pressure difference $\Delta P$ develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air, due to the stoppage of air flow, are negligible then the value of $\Delta P$ is. . . . .$\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$.
- 2The Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda merge at Deoprayag to form the Ganga with their speeds in the ratio $1: 1: 5$. The cross-sectional areas of the Bhagirathi, the Alaknanda and the Ganga are in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Assuming streamline flow, the ratio of the speed of Ganga to that of the Alaknanda isView Solution

- 5In a cylindrical water tank, there are two small holes $A$ and $B$ on the wall at a depth of $h_1$ , from the surface of water and at a height of $h_2$ from the bottom of water tank. Surface of water is at height of $h_2$ from the bottom of water tank. Surface of water is at heigh $H$ from the bottom of water tank. Water coming out from both holes strikes the ground at the same point $S$. Find the ratio of $h_1$ and $h_2$View Solution

- 7A drinking straw is dipped in a pan of water to depth d from the surface (see figure below). Now water is sucked into it up to an initial height $h_0$ and then left to oscillate. As a result, its height $y$ from the surface of the water varies periodically. Ignoring damping, the equation for $y$ is ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):View Solution
- 8In Guericke's experiment to show the effect of atmospheric pressure, two copper hemispheres were tightly fitted to each other to form a hollow sphere and the air from the sphere was pumped out to create vacuum inside. If the radius of each hemisphere is $R$ and the atmospheric pressure is $p$, then the minimum force required (when the two hemispheres are pulled apart by the same force) to separate the hemispheres isView Solution
- 9Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height $H$ and length $L$. It holds a lake of water of height $h (h < H)$ on one side. Let the density of water be $\rho_{ w }$. Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by $\tau_1$. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height $h / 2$ and wall length $L / 2$ by $\tau_2$. Then $\tau_1 / \tau_2$ (ignore atmospheric pressure) isView Solution
