250+ TOP MCQs on Important Cases of Potential Flow and Answers

Fluid Mechanics online test on “Important Cases of Potential Flow”.

1. The characteristic of Ideal fluid are
a) Incompressible
b) Inviscid
c) Fluid velocity is uniform
d) Shear stress has a constant, non zero value
Answer: c
Clarification: As ideal fluid is inviscid, shear stress is zero.

2. Which of the following is not a case of ideal fluid flow?
a) Forced vortex Flow
b) Uniform Flow
c) Sink Flow
d) Superimposed flow
Answer: a
Clarification: Forced vortex Flow does not satisfy the characteristic of ideal fluid flow.

3.What is a special characteristic of uniform flow parallel to X axis?
a) Velocity is constant
b) Acceleration is constant
c) X- component of velocity is constant
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: a
Clarification: Velocity is constant in uniform flow.

4. The source flow is flow coming from a point and moving out in a circular manner.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: The source flow is flow coming from a point and moving out in a radial manner.

5. The sink flow is flow in which fluid moves radially inwards towards a point where it disappears at a variable rate.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: The sink flow is flow in which fluid moves radially inwards towards a point where it disappears at a constant rate.

6. The pattern for streamlines and equipotential lines is different for source and sink flow.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: The pattern for streamlines and equipotential lines is different for source and sink flow.

7. In free vortex flow, the flow is linear in nature.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: In free vortex flow, the flow is circular in nature.

8. What is the nature of streamlines of free vortex flow?
a) Concentric
b) Non-concentric
c) Linear
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: a
Clarification: The nature of streamlines of free vortex flow is concentric.

9. For source flow, the radial velocity increases as we move radially outward.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: There is an inverse relation between velocity and radial distance for source flow.

10. When is air assumed to be incompressible?
a) At low speed
b) At high speed
c) Independent of its speed
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: a
Clarification: Air is assumed to be incompressible at low speed.
