Question 1.
What is the definition of a control volume in fluid mechanics?
Show hintHide hint
Think about a physical space you can draw around flowing fluid.
Question 2.
State Bernoulli’s equation.
Show hintHide hint
Recall that it involves energy terms related to height, velocity, and pressure.
3Question 3.
What does the control volume help to analyze?
- Temperature changes
- Mass and energy conservation
- Fluid color changes
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what properties are conserved in fluid mechanics.
4Question 4.
Bernoulli's equation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about energy flows in closed systems.
Question 5.
Calculating the water surface elevation at point 2 when the water flows from depth 2.3 feet downstream a ramp and the ramp height is 0.5 feet with a flow rate of 5.75 ft²/s.
Show hintHide hint
Make use of energy conservation principles.
Question 6.
Design a channel section to maintain subcritical flow given a specific flow rate and ramp condition. Discuss the parameters necessary to guarantee stability.
Show hintHide hint
Refer to specific energy diagrams to foresee flow behaviors.
