Question 1.
What is the main principle behind the conservation of momentum?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how momentum behaves in collisions.
Question 2.
Define a control volume in fluid mechanics.
Show hintHide hint
What do we analyze within a defined space?
3Question 3.
What is the basis of the conservation of momentum?
- Momentum can change with external forces
- Momentum remains constant in an isolated system
- Momentum increases in a flowing system
Show hintHide hint
Think about how collisions behave in physics.
4Question 4.
True or False: A control volume is always a physical boundary.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the purpose of control volumes in fluid dynamics.
Question 5.
Calculate the forces acting on a control volume with inflows of 100 kg/s and 50 kg/s, with an outflow of 120 kg/s. Assume gravity acts downwards with an appropriate force.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to account for both inflow and outflow when using momentum equations.
Question 6.
Given a turbulent two-dimensional flow causing pressure variations around a structure, determine how momentum coefficients would vary with flow velocity changes.
Show hintHide hint
Use flow visualization tools to predict how pressure distribution might change with turbulent flows.
