This paper is an engineering paper and hence it involves conceptual questions on topics like Kinematic viscosity and Dynamic Viscosity, determination of metacentric height of a fluid body, and Buckingham’s pi-theory. Questions are also expected on mathematical formulas and equations which have to be solved by the students and can be very scoring if the student manages to answer them correctly. Capillary rise of liquids, stream function, velocity potential function, notches and weirs, Darcy’s formula are also important topics which can be asked upon, including both definition based questions and mathematical problems. Reynolds number, free vortex and forced vortex, laminar flow, reaction turbine, control equation and such like topics also form an important chunk of the syllabus of Cochin University, Marine Engineering 3rd Sem- Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Papers. This ensures that students have a lot of choice from the topics offered to them, but the conceptual nature of the topics make them challenging.
