Fluid Mechanics Questions and Answers – Gradually Varied Flow(GVF) – 4

This set of Fluid Mechanics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Gradually Varied Flow(GVF) – 4”.

1. What is the expression for head loss in case of a GVF?
a) hf = L2 Sf
b) hf = LSf
c) hf = 2LSf
d) hf = 3LSf
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Analytically loss is given by the product of length of the back water curve and slope
Therefore, hf = LSf.

2. What is the expression for the length of the backwater curve?
a) L = \(\frac{E_2-E_1}{S_f-S_0}\)
b) L = \(\frac{E_2-E_1}{S_f}\)
c) L = \(\frac{E_2-E_1}{S_0-S_f}\)
d) L = \(\frac{E_2-E_1}{S_0}\)
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation:
The expression for the length of the backwater curve is L = E2−E1S0−Sf
