Ques 17 GATE 2017 SET-1
The velocity profile inside the boundary layer for flow over a flat plate is given as u/U∞ = sin(πy / 2δ), where U∞ is the free stream velocity and δ is the local boundary layer thickness. If δ* is the local displacement thickness, the value of δ*/δ is
Ques 18 GATE 2017 SET-1
Consider steady flow of an incompressible fluid through two long and straight pipes of diameters d1 and d2 arranged in series. Both pipes are of equal length and the flow is turbulent in both pipes. The friction factor for turbulent flow though pipes is of the form, f = K(Re)-n, where K and n are known positive constants and Re is the Reynolds number. Neglecting minor losses, the ratio of the frictional pressure drop in pipe 1 to that in pipe 2, (ΔP1/ΔP2), is given by

P, Q, and R talk about S's car collection. P states that S has at least 3 cars. Q believes that S has less than 3 cars. R indicates that to his knowledge, S has at least one car. Only one of P, Q and R is right. The number of cars owned by S is
Ques 25 GATE 2017 SET-1
"Here, throughout the early 1820s, Stuart continued to fight his losing battle to allow his sepoys to wear their caste-marks and their own choice of facial hair on parade, being again reprimanded by the commander-in-chief. His retort that 'A stronger instance than this of European prejudice with relation to this country has never come under my observations' had no effect on his superiors."
