Ideally speaking, bonds tend to form between two particles such that they are separated by a distance where force is exerted on them, and their overall energy is: a. a negative, minimized
b. a positive, minimized
c. zero, minimized
d. zero, maximized
e. a positive, maximized
f. a negative, maximized

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
