Question 1

Under what Mach number is the flow generally considered incompressible?

  • <0.3
  • >0.3
  • =0.5

💡 Hint: Think about the balance of flow properties.

Question 2

True or False: Incompressible flow means that the density of the fluid changes regardless of the flow conditions.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the definition of incompressibility.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a Mach number of 0.15 is flowing in a horizontal pipe. Describe how you would analyze the flow in terms of the simplifications discussed and derive the relevant equations.

💡 Hint: Refer to the definitions of incompressible flow.

Question 2

If a pipe has a varying diameter, explain how you would approach calculating mass flow rate with respect to the assumptions laid out about incompressibility.

💡 Hint: Think about how area affects velocity in comparison with density.
