Questions and Answers

In a steady-state, steady-flow process, mass is neither __ nor __.

  • Created, destroyed (correct)
  • Generated, eliminated
  • Conserved, altered
  • Increased, decreased

For a system with multiple inlets and multiple outlets, the conservation of mass can be written on a rate basis. In this case, the mass flow rate terms are equal to __ due to no mass flow in or out of the system.

  • 0 (correct)
  • -1
  • Infinity
  • 1

Closed systems are considered special forms of open systems because:

  • The mass changes constantly
  • No mass flows in or out of the system (correct)
  • There is infinite mass flow
  • The system is isolated from its surroundings
