Which of the following reasons is the incorrect reason for frictional losses in the conduit?(a) Gradual change in flow direction(b) Sudden contraction of the flow cross-sections(c) Sudden enlargement of the flow cross-sections(d) Due to irrotational flow of molten metalThis question was posed to me during an interview.The above asked question is from Effects of Friction and Velocity Distribution in section Pouring – Gating Design, Melting Furnaces, Melting and Casting Quality of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer» RIGHT answer is (d) Due to irrotational FLOW of molten metal

Best explanation: In REAL fluids, the frictional losses are always present, especially when there is a sudden contraction or ENLARGEMENT of the flow cross-sections and also due to a gradual change in the flow direction, e.g., in a 90° bend and similar other FITTINGS.
