A fluid particle moves from a stationary region to a high-speed jet in a pipe. If the velocities at both points are known, calculate the acceleration experienced by the particle and discuss the implications for fluid design.
💡 Hint: Focus on velocity differences and how they affect structural integrity.
Evaluate a scenario in which local acceleration must be minimized in a manufacturing process. Propose strategies for maintaining optimal flow conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about controlling temperature and pressure to maintain flow rates.
