Define a control volume in your own words.
Think about an area where fluid flows and where you can apply laws of motion.
What is a body force? Give an example.
Consider forces that affect entire volumes.
What is a control volume?
Consider where fluid mechanics equations are applied.
True or False: Only body forces are considered in the analysis of control volumes.
Remember the types of forces we discussed.
A cylindrical tank is filled with water. Calculate the net forces acting on the tank walls when water is flowing in at a steady rate. Use the Reynolds transport theorem.
Identify any pressures acting on the tank and how they change as water enters.
Design a water jet system using conservation of momentum principles. Evaluate the forces acting along the flow direction.
Consider pressure variations along the jet’s path.
