1. Which of the following flows satisfy conservation of mass for flow of an incompressible
fluid?
A. u = x3 sin y,
B. u = x3 sin y,

v = 3x2 cos y
v = 3x2 cos y

C. vr = 2r sin cos ,
D. V =

k
,
r2

v = 2r sin2

x2 + y 2 = c (Streamlines)

2. Let V and T denote the velocity vector and temperature in a flow field. The rate of
change of temperature experienced by a fluid particle as it is passes through the point
(x1 , y1 , z1 ) at a time t1 is 2.5 C/s. The rate of change of temperature at a time t1 at
the point (x1 , y1 , z1 ) is 4.8 C/s. The quantity V.T at (x1 , y1 , z1 ) and t1 in C/s is
