Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A tank with a constant outflow of water at the bottom is filled by a pump at the top at variable rates. Determine how the water level changes over time and how it adheres to the continuity equation.
💡 Hint: Remember to relate volume changes to the inflow and outflow.
In a compressible flow situation, derive the continuity equation while noting the factors that vary with density changes.
💡 Hint: Focus on how changing density affects mass conservation equations.
