Question 1.
Define steady flow and give an example.
Show hintHide hint
Think about fluid flow without time change.
Question 2.
What is Bernoulli's equation used for?
Show hintHide hint
Consider its applications in pressure calculations.
3Question 3.
What is uniform flow?
- A flow with varying speed.
- A flow with constant velocity across a section.
- A flow affected by turbulence.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how speed behaves across a flowing fluid.
4Question 4.
True or False: In steady flow, the pressure at a point can change over time.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what 'steady' signifies for fluid behavior.
Question 5.
A water pipe with varying diameters shows that the flow speed increases as the pipe narrows. How would you calculate flow rate using uniform flow assumptions?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, A = π(d/2)² for area.
Question 6.
Assume a building faces winds that create varying air pressures on different sides. How would you apply Bernoulli's principles to assess the structure's integrity?
Show hintHide hint
Set up your control volumes carefully around pressure points.
