What is steady flow?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the flow behaves at a given point.
Question 2.
What are streamlines?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how water moves in a river.
3Question 3.

Show hintHide hint
Think about what properties are constant.
Question 5.
How would you approach the design of a water supply system that needs to accommodate both steady and unsteady flow conditions?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how each flow impacts pressure differently.
Question 6.
In a scenario where a fluid pipeline experiences a sudden blockage, what changes would you expect in terms of flow type?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how a faucet behaves when obstructed.
