An inverted U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure difference between two pipes A and B, as shown in the figure. Pipe A is carrying oil (specific gravity = 0.8) and pipe B is carrying water. The densities of air and water are 1.16 kg/m3 and 1000 kg/m3, respectively. The pressure difference between pipes A and B is ________ kPa. Acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s2.

Oil (kinematic viscosity, νoil = 1.0x10-5 m2/s) flows through a pipe of 0.5 m diameter with a velocity of 10 m/s. Water (kinematic viscosity, νw = 0.89x10-6 m2/s) is flowing through a model pipe of diameter 20 mm. For satisfying the dynamic similarity, the velocity of water (in m/s) is ________.
Ques 20 GATE 2016 SET-1
A steady laminar boundary layer is formed over a flat plate as shown in the figure. The free stream velocity of the fluid is Uo. The velocity profile at the inlet a-b is uniform, while that at a downstream location c-d is given by u = Uo[2(y/δ) - (y/δ)2].
