Question 1

What does the conservation of mass state in fluid mechanics?

  • Mass can be created
  • Mass can be destroyed
  • Mass is constant in a closed system

💡 Hint: Recall the law of mass balance.

Question 2

Is the following statement true or false? 'In steady flow, mass entering a system equals mass exiting.'

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the balance of water in a bucket.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A tank has water flowing in at a rate of 5 L/min while water flows out at a rate of 3 L/min. Determine the change in the tank's mass flow considering it starts at 100 L. What happens over time?

💡 Hint: Set up a mass balance using inflow and outflow rates.

Question 2

In a moving control volume like a submarine, the pressure changes due to the movement forward through water. Explain how conservation of mass is maintained in this scenario.

💡 Hint: Consider how the submarine's speed affects the water pressure and flow rates.
