Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The variation between the total momentum and the product of mass flow rate and average velocity is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The volumetric flow rate of a fluid is given as,
Q = Volumetric flow rate of the fluid
u = Fluid velocity
S = Total cross-section area
The mass flow rate is given as,
The average velocity if the fluid is,
The momentum of the fluid is the product of the mass flow rate and the velocity of the fluid.
M = Momentum of the fluid
(b)
Interpretation:
The situation at which momentum flow is equal to the product of mass flow and average velocity is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The volumetric flow rate of a fluid is given as,
Q = Volumetric flow rate of the fluid
u = Fluid velocity
S = Total cross-section area
The mass flow rate is given as,
The average velocity if the fluid is,
The momentum of the fluid is the product of the mass flow rate and the velocity of the fluid.
M = Momentum of the fluid
