[20M]


7.(c) A stream is rushing from a boiler through a conical pipe, the diameters of the ends of which are \(D\) and \(d\). If \(V\) and \(v\) be the corresponding velocities of the stream and if the motion is assumed to steady and diverging from the vertex of the cone, then prove that \(\dfrac{v}{V}=\dfrac{D^{2}}{d^{2}} e^{\left(u^{2}-v^{2}\right) / 2 K}\), where \(K\) is the pressure divided by the density and is constant.

[15M]

Let \(A B\) and \(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}\) be the ends of the conical pipe such that \(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}=d\) and \(A B=D .\) Let \(\rho_{1}\) and \(\rho_{2}\) be densities of the stream at \(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}\) and \(A B\). By principle of conservation of mass, the mass of the stream that enters the end \(A B\) and leaves at the end \(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}\) must be the same. Hence the equation of continuity is \(\pi(d / 2)^{2} v \rho_{1}=\pi(D / 2)^{2} V \rho_{2}\)

so that \(\frac{v}{V}=\frac{D^{2}}{d^{2}} \times \frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}} \ldots (1)\)

2017-7(c)

By Bernoulli’s theorem (in absence of external forces like gravity), we have
\(\int \frac{d p}{\rho}+\frac{1}{2} q^{2}=C \ldots (2)\)

Given that \(\quad p / \rho=k \quad\) so that

\[d p=k d \rho \ldots (3)\]

\(\therefore\) (2) reduces to
\(k \int \frac{d \rho}{\rho}+\frac{1}{2} q^{2}=C\) (using (3))
Integrating above, we get
\(k \log \rho+q^{2} / 2=C\), \(C\) being an arbitrary constant

\(\begin{array}{lllll}\text {When } & q=v, & \rho=\rho_{1} & \text { and } & \text { when } & q=V, & \rho=\rho_{2} .\end{array}\) Hence (4) yields
\(k \log \rho_{1}+v^{2} / 2=C \quad\) and \(\quad k \log \rho_{2}+V^{2 /} 2=C\)
Subtracting, \(k\left(\log \rho_{2}-\log \rho_{1}\right)+\left(V^{2}-v^{2}\right) / 2=0\)

\(\implies \log \left(\rho_{2} / \rho_{1}\right)=\left(v^{2}-V^{2}\right) 2 k \quad\) or \(\quad \rho_{2} / \rho_{1}=e^{\left(v^{2}-V^{2}\right) 2 k}\)
Using (5), (1) reduces to \(v / V=\left(D^{2} / d^{2}\right) \times e^{\left(v^{2}-V^{2}\right) / 2 k}\)

Hence, proved.


8.(a) Given the one-dimensional wave equation \(\dfrac{\partial^{2} y}{\partial t^{2}}=c^{2} \dfrac{\partial^{2} y}{\partial x^{2}}\); \(t > 0\), where \(c^{2}=\dfrac{T}{m}\), \(T\) the constant tension in the string and \(m\) is the mass per unit length of the string.

(i) Find the appropriate solution of the wave equation.
(ii) Find also the solution under the conditions \(y(0, t)=0\), \(y(l, t)=0\) for all \(t\) and \(\left [ \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial t}\right]_{t=0}=0\), \(y(x, 0)=a \sin \dfrac{\pi x}{t}\), \(0< x< l\), \(a>0\).

[20M]


8.(b) Write an algorithm in the form of a flow chart for Newton-Raphson method. Describe the cases of failure of this method.

[15M]


8.(c) If the velocity of an incompressible fluid at the point \((x, y, z)\) is given by \(\left(\dfrac{3 x z}{r^{5}}, \dfrac{3 y z}{r^{5}}, \dfrac{3z^2 - r^2}{r^{5}}\right)\), \(r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\) then prove that the liquid motion is possible and that the velocity potential is \(\dfrac{z}{r^{3}}\). Further, determine the the streamlines.

[15M]

Here \(u=\frac{3 x z}{r^{5}}\), \(v=\frac{3 y z}{r^{5}}\), \(w=\frac{3 z^{2}-r^{2}}{r^{5}}=\frac{3 z^{2}}{r^{5}}-\frac{1}{r^{3}} \ldots\) (1) where
\(r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2} \ldots\) (2)

From \((2), \quad \partial r / \partial x=x / r, \quad \partial r / \partial y=y / r, \quad \quad \partial r / \partial z=z / r\) From (1), ( 2 ) and (3), we have

\[\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=3 z\left[\frac{1}{r^{5}}+(-5 x) r^{-6} \frac{\partial r}{\partial x}\right]=\frac{3 z}{r^{5}}-\frac{15 x^{2} z}{r^{7}}\] \[\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=3 z\left[\frac{1}{r^{5}}+(-5 y) r^{-6} \frac{\partial r}{\partial y}\right]=\frac{3 z}{r^{5}}-\frac{15 y^{2} z}{r^{7}}\] \[\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{6 z}{r^{5}}-15 z^{2} r^{-6} \frac{\partial r}{\partial z}+3 r^{-4} \frac{\partial r}{\partial z}=\frac{6 z}{r^{5}}-\frac{15 z^{2}}{r^{6}} \cdot \frac{z}{r}+\frac{3}{r^{4}} \cdot \frac{z}{r}=\frac{9 z}{r^{5}}-\frac{15 z^{3}}{r^{7}}\] \[\therefore \quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{15 z}{r^{5}}-\frac{15 z}{r^{7}}\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)=\frac{15 z}{r^{5}}-\frac{15 z}{r^{7}} \times r^{2}=0\]

Since the equation of continuity is satisfied by the given values of \(u, v\) and \(w,\) the motion is possible. Let \(\phi\) be the required velocity potential. Then

\[\begin{array}{l} d \phi=\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x} d x+\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y} d y+\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial z} d z=-(u d x+v d y+w d z), \text { by definition of } \phi \\ =-\left[\frac{3 x}{r^{5}} d x+\frac{3 y z}{r^{5}} d y+\frac{3 z^{2}-r^{2}}{r^{5}} d z\right]=\frac{r^{2} d z-3 z(x d x+y d y+z d z)}{r^{5}} \\ \text { Thus, } \quad d \phi=\frac{r^{3} d z-3 r^{2} z d r}{\left(r^{3}\right)^{2}}=d\left(\frac{z}{r^{3}}\right), \text { using }(2) \end{array}\]

Integrating,

\[\phi=z / r^{3}\]

[Omitting constant of integration, for it has no significance in \(\phi\)]

In spherical polar coordinates \((r, \theta, \phi),\) we know that \(z=r \cos \theta .\) Hence the required potential is given by \(\phi=(r \cos \theta) / r^{3}=(\cos \theta) / r^{2}\). We now obtain the streamlines. The equations of streamlines are given by

\[\frac{d x}{u}=\frac{d y}{v}=\frac{d z}{w} \quad \text { i.e., } \quad \frac{d x}{3 x z / r^{5}}=\frac{d y}{3 y z / r^{5}}=\frac{d z}{\left(3 z^{2}-r^{2}\right) / r^{5}}\]

So,

\[\frac{d x}{3 x z}=\frac{d y}{3 y z}=\frac{d z}{3 z^{2}-r^{2}} \ldots (4)\]

Taking the first two members of (4) and simplifying, we get

\[d x / x=d y / y\] \[\implies d x / x-d y / y=0\]

Integrating, \(\log x-\log y=\log c_{1} \quad\) l.e. \(\quad x / y=c_{1}, c_{1}\) being a constant \(\ldots (5)\)

Now, each member in \((4)=\frac{x d x+y d y+z d z}{3 x^{2} z+3 y^{2} z+3 z^{3}-r^{2} z}=\frac{x d x+y d y+z d z}{3 z\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)-r^{2} z}\)

\[=\frac{x d x+y d y+z d z}{3 z\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)-z\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)}=\frac{x d x+y d y+z d z}{2 z\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)}, \text { by }(2) \ldots (6)\]

Taking the first member in (4) and (6), we get

\[\frac{d x}{3 x z}=\frac{x d x+y d y+z d z}{2 z\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)} \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{2}{3} \frac{d x}{x}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{2 x d x+2 y d y+2 z d z}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}\]

Integrating, \((2 / 3) \times \log x=(1 / 2) \times \log \left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)+\log c_{2}\) or \(x^{2 / 3}=c_{2}\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}, c_{2}\) being an arbitrary constant. \(\ldots (7)\).

The required streamlines are the curves of intersction of (5) and (7).
