Question 1

What does the assumption of incompressibility imply for fluid density?

  • Density varies significantly
  • Density remains constant
  • Density decreases with velocity

💡 Hint: Consider the effects on mass conservation.

Question 2

Is a Newtonian fluid characterized by a non-linear relationship between shear stress and velocity gradient?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think of how viscosity behaves in linear terms.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a scenario where a fluid flow transition from laminar to turbulent occurs, how would the assumptions regarding incompressibility, Newtonian fluid, and isothermal conditions be affected? Discuss quantitatively.

💡 Hint: Think about the dynamics of flow and how they transition.

Question 2

Analyze a case study where temperature fluctuations affect the viscosity of a fluid in a heating pipe system. Discuss the necessity of assuming isothermal conditions.

💡 Hint: Consider real industrial applications where temperature control is key.
