What does the Continuity Equation represent?
Think about fluids flowing in and out.
If flow area decreases, what happens to velocity according to the Continuity Equation?
Consider how flow must adjust when area changes.
What is the Continuity Equation used for?
Think about how fluid moves in a pipe.
True or False: The Continuity Equation applies to compressible fluids.
Consider the conditions for applying this equation.
A tank has an inlet pipe with a diameter of 0.3 m and receives water at a flow rate of 5 m³/s. If the outlet pipe has a diameter of 0.15 m, what is the velocity of the water exiting the tank?
Find area first, then apply the equation!
Design a section of a pipe system that changes from 0.4 m to 0.2 m diameter and calculate the new velocity if the input velocity was 1.5 m/s.
Use consistent units and always check area calculations.
