SHOTS - FLUID MECHANICS

💥 Pascal second is the unit of dynamic viscosity. 

💥 An ideal fluid is frictionless and incompressible. 

💥 Cm^2/sec is the unit of kinematic viscosity. 

💥 NS/m^2 is the unit of dynamic viscosity. 

💥 Kinematic viscosity=(dynamic viscosity/mass density). 

💥 Surface tension of water increases with decrease in temperature. 

💥 Centre of buoyancy is always coincide with the centroid of the volume of fluid displaced. 

💥 A floating body is said to be in a state of stable equilibrium when the meta centric height is above the centre of gravity. 

💥 Stream lines and path lines always coincide in case of steady flow. 

💥 Equation of continuity is based on principle of conservation of mass. 

💥 The pitot tube is used to measure stagnation pressure. 

💥 Venturi meter is used to measure the discharge. 

💥 The major loss of energy in long pipes is due to friction. 

💥 The losses are more in turbulent flow. 

💥 Trapezoidal shape is the best hydraulic section. 

💥 The height of the hydraulic jump is equal to the difference in conjugate depth. 

💥 Rayleigh lines are based on momentum and continuity.

ROOF - Building Materials short notes and previous year questions

Image
ROOF • Heavy rainfall / snowfall : sloped roof  • Normal rainfall : flat roof  • Architectural : curved roof  TERMS  1. WALL PLATE : transfer load from inclined member to vertical column  2. TEMPLATE : distribute the load over a larger area  3. HIP : if external angle > 180  4. VALLEY : if external angle < 180  5. PRINCIPLE RAFTERS : carries entire load of truss or roof  6. COMMON RAFTERS : carries load of roof covering materials  7. HIP RAFTER : rafter connecting hip points  8. VALLEY RAFTER : rafter connecting Valley points  9. JACK RAFTER : rafter smaller than common rafter  10. VERGE : edge of the gable in a pitched roof  11. BARGE BOARD : wooden plank connecting eaves board and ridge KING POST TRUSS   • Span 5 - 8 m  • Pitch 30 - 40  • King post carries tension loads  • Struts carry compression loads  • Joint connecting principle rafter and king post : mortice and Tenon jo...
