Consider two identical fans, one at sea level and the other on top of a high mountain, running at identical speeds. How would you compare (a) the volume flow rates and (b) the mass flow rates of these two fans?
During flood stage, the largest river in the world-the mighty Amazon River-dumps 200,000 cubic meters of water into the Atlantic Ocean each second. Compare its flow rate with the volume of water transported by the West Wind Drift and the Gulf Stream. How many times larger than the Amazon is each of these two ocean currents?
If a flow pattern has converging streamlines, how would you classify the flow?
