Question 1.
Define steady flow.
Show hintHide hint
Think about whether velocities change or remain constant.
Question 2.
Explain incompressible flow.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how liquids behave under pressure.
3Question 3.
What is steady flow?
- A flow varying with time
- A flow with constant parameters
- A flow without momentum
Show hintHide hint
Does the flow change or stay the same?
4Question 4.
True or False: Incompressible flow assumes that density can change.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of incompressible flow.
Question 5.
Given a steady flow in a tube with varying diameters, derive an expression for velocity change using Bernoulli's equation.
Show hintHide hint
Use conservation of energy concepts.
Question 6.
Calculate the flow rate using a venturimeter with a diameter of 2 cm at point 1 and 1 cm at point 2 if the difference in pressure measures 100 Pa.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between diameter changes and velocity.
