Question 1.
What is a control volume?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we define a space for studying fluid flow.
Question 2.
List two key fluid flow parameters.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what describes how fluid flows.
3Question 3.
What is the primary difference between a control volume and a system?
- A system is fixed; a control volume is not.
- A control volume is always larger than a system.
- Both are identical concepts.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how each concept focuses on fluid flow.
4Question 4.
True or False: Velocity fields represent the distribution of fluid density during flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what each type of field represents.
Question 5.
Design a wind tunnel experiment to test how different shapes affect drag and lift on an object. Discuss the process and expected outcomes.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how you would scale down real objects for your experiments.
Question 6.
Given a scenario where wind speed increases and affects a tall building, derive the resulting pressure distributions around the structure using conservation principles.
Show hintHide hint
What principles govern the behavior of wind acting on structures?
