A control volume experiences fluid inflow at 10 m/s with a density of 1,000 kg/m³. The outlet's velocity is 8 m/s. Calculate the net force acting on the control volume assuming no external forces. Consider the incoming density and pressure as well.
💡 Hint: Remember the balance between inflow and outflow!
If a large pipe has an increasing diameter, describe how the momentum flux will change throughout the pipe. Consider both sections of varying diameters.
💡 Hint: Think about how conservation applies in varying cross-sections.
