Define a moving control volume in your own words.
Think about vehicles moving through air or water.
What is the conservation of mass principle?
Consider how mass behaves in an isolated system.
What does the conservation of mass principle states?
Think about the balance of mass in fluids.
True or False: A deformable control volume can change in shape.
Consider materials that can stretch or compress.
Calculate the mass flow rate of water entering a control volume where the diameter of the inlet pipe is 0.1m, velocity is 2m/s, and density is 1000kg/m³.
Remember to calculate the area of the pipe first.
A ship with a moving control volume travels at 5m/s, while water velocity relative to the shore is 3m/s. Calculate the relative velocity of water across the ship's hull.
Think about the reference point for the velocities.
