FLUID MECHANICS N6
QUESTION 1
1.1 Uniform flow> The cross-sectional area and the velocity of the fluid is the
same at each successive cross section.
Steady flow> The cross-sectional area and the velocity of the fluid vary from
cross section to cross section. (2)
1.2. 1.2.1 Same, because they are running parallel. (2)
za
1.2.2 Same, because the quantity is independent of the cross-sectional
area and the system from ① to ③ is continuous/The pipes are
connected in series. (2)
o.
1.2.3 Differ, because the cross-sectional areas/diameters differ. (2)
