Question 1.
Define a system in fluid mechanics.
Show hintHide hint
Think about what we consider when studying fluids.
Question 2.
What is a control volume?
Show hintHide hint
It's related to the boundaries around a flow region.
3Question 3.
What differentiates a system from a control volume in fluid mechanics?
- A system has fixed mass
- whereas control volume is a defined space for fluid flow.
- A system is always larger than a control volume.
- Control volume describes a particle
- whereas a system describes a region.
Show hintHide hint
Think about which one allows fluid to flow freely.
4Question 4.
True or False: Experimental methods do not contribute to analytical flow studies.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between empirical data and theoretical analysis.
Question 5.
Describe a method to analyze the fluid flow over a complex geometry structure, such as a racing car, using both experimental and computational fluid dynamics approaches.
Show hintHide hint
Think about testing designs and refining them using empirical data.
Question 6.
Explain how changes in boundary conditions might affect the lift and drag forces on the previously discussed bird example.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how different wind conditions change the flight dynamics.
