Questions and Answers

What does uniform flow imply?

  • No variation of fluid properties with position (correct)
  • Variation of fluid properties with time
  • No variation of fluid properties with temperature
  • Variation of fluid properties with position

Why does the flow not remain uniform near the wind tunnel walls?

  • Due to high temperature near the walls
  • Due to the absence of pressure near the walls
  • Due to the presence of a boundary layer and the no-slip condition (correct)
  • Due to the absence of a boundary layer

In engineering practice, why is it common to approximate flow in ducts and pipes as uniform?

  • To complicate the calculations
  • To introduce errors in calculations
  • For simplicity in calculations (correct)
  • For accuracy in calculations
