Steady flow occurs when___________________?
  • (A)  the direction and magnitude of the velocity at all points are identical
  • (B)  the velocity of successive fluid particles, at any point, is the same at successive periods of time
  • (C)  the magnitude and direction of the velocity do not change from point to point in the fluid
  • (D)  the fluid particles move in plane or parallel planes and the streamline pat-terns are identical in each plane
  • (E)  velocity, depth, pressure, etc. change from point to point in the fluid flow
Cavitation will begin when__________________?
  • (A)  the pressure at any location reaches an absolute pressure equal to the saturated vapour pressure of the liquid
  • (B)  pressure becomes more than critical pressure
  • (C)  flow is increased
  • (D)  pressure is increased
  • (E)  none of the above
Principle of similitude forms the basis of_________________?
