Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the continuum assumption state?

  • Fluids are made of discrete particles.
  • Fluids are treated as infinitely small particles.
  • Fluids cannot be influenced by external forces.

💡 Hint: Think about how we measure fluids in everyday situations.

Question 2

In which method do we follow individual fluid particles?

  • Eulerian Method
  • Lagrangian Method
  • Continuum Method

💡 Hint: Consider whether you are observing the fluid at a fixed location or moving with the fluid.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Discuss how the flow properties would change if a section of a three-dimensional flow is simplified to two-dimensional. What are the potential impacts on real-world applications such as air navigation for airplanes?

💡 Hint: Think about how neglecting one direction could affect the accuracy of measurements.

Question 2

Explain a real-life scenario where understanding the difference between steady and unsteady flow is critical. How might engineers design differently based on this understanding?

💡 Hint: Consider what could happen if the pressure fluctuates in a pipeline.
