Lecture No. 5 CLASSIFICATION OF FLUID FLOW AND THE CONTINUITY EQUATION 5.1 Classification of Fluid Flow Uniform flow If the velocity of the fluid is the same in magnitude and direction at every point in the fluid the flow is said to be uniform. Non-uniform flow A non-uniform flow is one where the velocities at different points at a given instant are not the same. Every fluid that flows near a solid boundary will be non-uniform because the fluid at the boundary takes the velocity of the

Although a significant distinction exists between liquids and gases‚ both types of fluids obey the same laws of motion. In most cases of interest‚ a fluid can be regarded as continuum‚ i

Name: ******** Class: DME2 Title: Flow Measurement Date: 11/02/2013 Lecturer: Mr Higgins Summary: In this experiment many different meters were used to measure fluid flow rate; the orifice plate‚ the venture meter‚ the rota meter and the weigh tank. Each meter works by its ability to alter a certain physical property of the flowing fluid and then allows this alteration to be measured. The measured alterations are linked directly to the flow rate and these measurements are subbed in

Experiment 1 Fluid Flow In A Smooth Pipe Abstract In this experiment‚ three variable flow meters are used to alter the flowrate. Changes in pressure drop due to the change in flowrate are then observed from the three pressure gauges that can measure pressure at different range and recorded. The shift from laminar flow to turbulent flow is seen from the results recorded‚ but it is observed more clearly from the water-soluble dye experiment that was carried out by the demonstrator. Laminar flow

MAE130B Concept/Question/Comments Film: Channel Flow of a Compressible Fluid Due Date: March 15‚ 2013 Concept 1: Choking Choking occurs when the Mach number at the throat of a channel flow is equal to one. Conceptually choking is the phenomena where the flow in a channel transitions to sonic flow. Due to the conditions of choking‚ the velocity‚ density‚ and pressure can increase or decrease continuously through a sonic throat‚ and the flow does not need to be symmetrical.
