PREFACE
This book doesn’t make promise but provide complete satisfaction to the readers. The market scenario is confusing and readers don’t find the optimum quality books. This book provides complete set of problems appeared in competition exam as well as fresh set of problems.
The book is categorized into units which are sub-divided into chapters. The aim of the book is to avoid the unnecessary elaboration and highlights only those concepts are techniques which are absolutely necessary. Again time is crucial factor both from the point of view of preparation duration and time taken for solving each problem in the book are those which take the least distance to the solution.
But however to make a comment that the book is absolute for GATE preparation will be an inappropriate one. The theory for the preparation of the examination should be followed from the standard books.

Hence these are not equal, the given velocity distribution is not an exact solution of Navier-stokes equation. Thus we are unable to calculate a steady, incompressible, two-dimensional pressure field with the given velocity field.

rendering the boundary layer thinner.(b) False : Actually as V increases, so does Re and the boundary layer thickness decrease with increasing Reynolds number.(c) True : Since μ appears in the denominator of the Reynolds Number, Re decreases as μ increases, causing the boundary layer thickness to increase.(d) False : Since ρ appears in the numerator of the Reynolds number ( )Re increases as ρ increases, causing the boundary layer thickness to decrease.
FM 5.15 Option (A) is correct.If the flow is inviscid, we could not enforce the no-slip condition at the walls. Thus at any r location, the volume flow rate must be the same.

For Re 1 105## , the flow is laminar (for smooth flat plate).
1 105# 3 10Re 6# # # , the flow is transitional.

Since Rex is greater than 1 105# but just barely so and less than 3 106
