A. HB/2 (H + B)
B. HB/(H + B)
C. 2HB/(H + B)
D. 4HB/(H + B)
Two liquids manometer is used for measuring small pressure differences in___________________?
A. Liquids
B. Gases
C. Mixture of hydrocarbons
D. None of these
Minimum fluidisation velocity for a specific system depends upon the___________________?
A. Particle size
B. Fluid viscosity
C. Density of both the particle & the fluid
D. All A., B. and C.
Very small pressure difference (< 5 mm water column) can be most conveniently measured by a/an _____________ manometer?
A. U-tube water

D. None of these
Pick out the wrong statement about cavitation?
A. Sudden reduction of pressure in a fluid flow system caused by flow separation, vortex formation or abrupt closing of valve leads to cavitation
B. Cavitation may be caused due to boiling of liquid by decreasing the pressure resulting in
formation & collapse of vapor cavities
C. Cavitation begins at higher static pressure and lower velocity in larger diameter pipelines
resulting in audible noise
D. Large scale cavitation cannot damage pipeline, restrict fluid flow and damage steam turbine
blades
