10. Basics of Fluid Mechanics – II (contd.,)

Fluid mechanics involves understanding concepts such as path lines, streak lines, and stagnation points. Key aspects include observing how fluid particles move through different flow conditions and the critical nature of points where velocity becomes zero, known as stagnation points. The chapter also delves into accelerations and the continuity equation, highlighting the relationship between mass flow rates in steady flow conditions.
