YOU CANNOT FAIL IN FLUID MECHANICS

Fluid Mechanics is such a subject where theory also need to be explained with the help of mathematical equations.
FM is very easy to pass and also to score more than 75; provided you select the questions properly.
I am giving unit wise the topics which must be thoroughly prepared. And if you get time after finishing those can go for the topics left for the option.
Sequence of answers should be as under.
1.Buckingham pi……… 8 or 10 marks
2.Viscosity……………... 8 or 10 marks
3.Derivations…Minimum 3 derivations ………24 marks
4.Numericals…Minimum 2 numericals will be solved correctly…12 marks
5.Theory questions if any…………….. 4 marks.

If you add those marks you will find that failing in this subject is very difficult.
