Question 1.
Define uniform flow in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think about whether properties change with space.
Question 2.
What is a non-uniform flow?
Show hintHide hint
Consider variations in the flow.
3Question 3.
What defines uniform flow?
- Properties change over points
- Properties remain unchanged across space
- Flow only exists within a boundary
Show hintHide hint
Think about how properties behave across different locations.
4Question 4.
Non-uniform flow occurs when:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of non-uniform flow.
Question 5.
Develop a mathematical model to illustrate how a fluid flows uniformly through a pipe of varying diameter.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how volume flow rate must remain unchanged.
Question 6.
Analyze the velocity profile across a section of a river, where the flow is non-uniform due to an obstruction. How does this affect velocity near the obstruction?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how structures impact fluid speed.
