Hydraulics and fluid mechanics MCQ with Answers

The important dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics are
1. Reynold’s number
2. Froude’s number
3. Weber’s number
4. Euler’s number
5. Mach’s number or Cauchy’s number

Reynold’s number: Reynold’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force.

Froude’s number: Froude’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the gravity force.

Weber’s number: Weber’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the surface tension force.

Euler’s number: Euler’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the pressure force.

Mach’s number or Cauchy’s number: Mach’s number or Cauchy’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the elastic force.

Kinematic viscosity is defined as the ratio of dynamic viscosity to the density of liquid.
