(a)
Interpretation: The equation of streamline at a point is to be determined.
Concept introduction: In a streamline flow, the velocity of a fluid at any point along its path is constant or varies regularly. The equation of streamline is given as,
Here,
(b)
Interpretation: The volume of flow between two points along a plane is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The volume of flow along a plane is given by the concept of control volume and the expression for the same is given as,
Here, v is the velocity vector, ex and ey are the unit vectors in the direction parallel and perpendicular to the given vector.
Q is the volume of flow with (a,b) and (c,d) is the initial and final points of the flow and thus be treated as the limit of the integration.
