Question 1.
Define a system in fluid mechanics.
Show hintHide hint
Think about what you would isolate for analysis.
Question 2.
What is the primary focus of a control volume?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how this differs from a system.
3Question 3.
What is the difference between a system and a control volume?
- A system has fluid flow; a control volume does not.
- A system can change mass; a control volume cannot.
- A system is a fixed mass; a control volume is a space through which fluid flows.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the basic definitions discussed in class.
4Question 4.
True or False: Control volumes can only have fixed surfaces.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how boundaries can change in fluid dynamics.
Question 5.
Consider an airplane wing in a wind tunnel. How would you set up the control volume to analyze forces acting on it?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how different external conditions affect performance.
Question 6.
You are tasked with designing a bridge exposed to high winds. How would you approach fluid flow analysis for the supporting structures?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how wind patterns could influence the engineering model.
