(II): Each flow channel in a flownet has the same rate of flow.
Ans: (d)
102. Statement (I): Boundary layer theory is applicable only in the vicinity of the leading edge of a flat plate.
Statement (II): Boundary layer theory is based on the assumption that its thickness is small when compared to other linear dimensions in the flow.
Ans: (d)
103. Statement (I): The best hydraulic section always has the minimum excavation.
Statement (II): The best hydraulic section gives the minimum area for a given discharge.
Ans: (c)
104. Statement (I): A given channel may be classifiable as mild for one discharge, critical for another discharge, and steep for yet another discharge.
Statement (II): Normal depth and critical depth are independent functions of the discharge along with, or without, other appropriate parameters.
Ans: (a)
105. Statement (I): For a hydraulic ram, D’Aubuisson’s efficiency is always more than Rankine’s efficiency.
Statement (II): By definition, efficiency is always less than unity in any system of mechanics; and addition of a small value to both numerator and denominator in the ratio of such a case always improves the value.
