Question 1

What does acceleration represent in fluid mechanics?

  • Change in pressure
  • Change in velocity
  • Change in density

💡 Hint: Consider what accelerates in a flowing fluid.

Question 2

True or False: A stagnation point indicates a flow with maximum velocity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Review what happens where the flow stops.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a fluid flowing at a variable speed through a straight pipe. At a specific point, the local acceleration is measured as 5 m/s², and the convective acceleration calculated is -2 m/s². What is the total acceleration?

💡 Hint: Add the two types together to find the total.

Question 2

At a nozzle, the flow stagnation point occurs when the velocity approaches zero. If the incoming speed is 10 m/s with a radius of curvature influencing flow direction, describe how you would find local and convective acceleration near that point.

💡 Hint: Use the relationships and equations we've learned to calculate.
