Question 1

What is the relationship between Mach number and flow compressibility?

  • Higher than 0.3 means compressible
  • Lower than 0.3 means compressible
  • Exactly 0.3 means incompressible

💡 Hint: Remember how the flow speed compares to sound.

Question 2

True or False: The density of an incompressible fluid remains constant under all conditions.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of the Mach number.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a flume has two inlets with velocities of 0.2 m/s and 0.3 m/s, and a cross-section of 2 m², calculate the inflow. Then, if the outlet velocity is 0.4 m/s with a section of 1m², find the net loss.

💡 Hint: Use Q = A * V to find both the inflow and outflow.

Question 2

Given a seepage problem where velocity varies from 0.5 to 0.45 m/s through sections of identical area, calculate the change in seepage rate using the flow conservation principle.

💡 Hint: Identify your inflow and outflow effectively.
