Q2 [20 Marks]
The velocity field V axi byj , where a=b= 1 s-1, can be interpreted to represent
flow in a corner. Find an equation for the flow streamlines. Is there any stagnation point for
this flow field, if so where is it?

Q5 [30 Marks]
Water flows steadily through the reducing elbow shown in Fig. Q5. The elbow is smooth
and short, and the flow accelerates, so the effect of friction is small. The volume flow rate
is Q= 1.27 L/s. the elbow is in a horizontal plane. a) Estimate the gage pressure at section
1. b) Select a suitable control volume for the problem and calculate the x-component of the
force exerted by reducing elbow on the supply pipe.
