This set of Fluid Mechanics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Specific Energy – 1”.
1. What is energy per unit head of water called as __________
a) Total energy
b) Specific energy
c) Velocity head
d) Datum head
View Answer
Explanation: Total Energy = Pressure head + Velocity head + Datum head
Hence energy per unit head is called as total energy.
2. What is the plot between Total energy and channel position called as?
a) Specific grade line
b) Energy grade line
c) Datum line
d) Velocity line
View Answer
Explanation: The graph between total energy and channel position gives the distribution of energy along the channel and hence the plot is called energy grade line.
3. Which of the following conditions is not true for an uniform flow?
a) y1 = y2
b) S0 = Sf
c) Z1 = Z2
d) V1 = V2
View Answer
Explanation: In a uniform flow through a channel the depth, slopes and the velocity of flow remains constant throughout the channel but the datum head may or may not be the same.
4. Energy per unit weight of water measured with respect to the datum is called as _______
a) Total energy
b) Specific energy
c) Velocity head
d) Datum head
View Answer
Explanation: Specific energy is the energy constant throughout the channel and is estimated with respect to the datum.
5. For a given discharge Q and area A, specific energy is constant.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Specific energy is constant throughout the channel and is given by
and hence for a given Q and A, E is constant.
6. Calculate the specific energy for a channel having depth 3m and velocity of flow being 1.5 m/s
a) 2.11m
b) 3.11m
c) 4.11m
d) 5.11m
View Answer
Explanation:

a) 5.27m
b) 6.27m
c) 7.27m
d) 8.27m
View Answer
Explanation:
11. The specific energy of a triangular channel is 5.06m and the depth of the channel is 5m having side slope of 1H:4V then calculate the value of C. Given: S0=1 in 1000.
