Question 1

What is the definition of incompressible flow?

  • A flow with significant density variation
  • Flow with a Mach number above 0.3
  • Flow with negligible density variation

💡 Hint: Think about what Mach number relates to.

Question 2

True or False: The Reynolds Transport Theorem relates mass change within a control volume to mass flow rates crossing its boundaries.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the importance of conservation laws.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a pipeline system with varying diameters, explain how the velocity changes and how you would apply the mass conservation principle to find outflow rates.

💡 Hint: Consider how area and velocity interact under mass conservation.

Question 2

A fluid has an entrance flow rate of 3 m³/s and exit flow rate of 2.5 m³/s. What is the change in storage within the control volume over a time interval of 5 seconds?

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the mass conservation principle to calculate change in storage.
