Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a converging nozzle where the velocity is 20 ft/s at the entrance and 60 ft/s at the exit, calculate the acceleration in the x-direction. Assume the length of the nozzle is 1 ft.
💡 Hint: Use the equations for acceleration and consider how velocity changes with distance.
Discuss a scenario where steady flow transitions into unsteady flow. What factors can cause this change?
💡 Hint: Think of mechanical alterations in the flow system.
