Question 1

What is incompressible flow?

  • Flow where density changes significantly
  • Flow where density remains constant
  • Flow with high Mach number

💡 Hint: Consider the conditions under which density is treated as constant.

Question 2

True or False: The Mach number must be greater than 0.3 for flow to be incompressible.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how speed affects density in fluids.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where flow through a pipe has varying diameters but the Mach number stays below 0.3, predict how velocity changes and apply it to find resulting mass flow rates.

💡 Hint: Remember: Calculate cross-sectional area appropriately for each pipe segment.

Question 2

In a tank with two inflows and one outflow, evaluate how the height of the liquid changesover time based on inflow rates, assuming constant density and flow rates.

💡 Hint: Set up mass balance equations using control volumes to model height change.
