6.1.2.1 Continuity Equation Due Feb 23 at 11:59pm Points 14 Questions 14 Available Feb 20 at 12am - Feb 23 at 11:59pm Time Limit None Instructions In this activity, you will develop a qualitative understanding of the continuity equation by exploring a computer simulation. Before you begin, you'll need a computer or tablet and the Phet linked here 5. As you work through the problems consider the following Guiding Questions: 1. What is happening as the pipe changes shape? Smaller? Larger? 2. What property of the pipe are you changing as you change the size of the pipe? 3. What happens to the velocity of the fluid as you change the shape of the pipe? Smaller? Larger? 4. What rule are you developing?
Question 1 Not yet graded / 1 pts Open the Fluid Pressure and Flow PhET simulation. Go to the second tab - “Flow” Explore how you can change the flow rate by moving the slider. What are you changing when you change the flow rate? Explain in words. Your Answer: liters per second through the pipe Question 2 Not yet graded / 1 pts What do you think happens to the flow rate as the fluid moves throughout the pipe? Your Answer: Stays the same Drag the arms on the side of the pipe to create three different shaped pipes. Upload your three unique designs below. e [P T You will submit your solution in the Upload section at the end of this assignment.
Question 3 Not yet graded / 1 pts Use the tools available to study what happens to the pressure and speed of the fluid as it moves along the pipe. What conclusions can you make regarding how the properties of the pipe affect the speed of the fluid in the pipe? *Use one of your examples from above as your evidence* Your Answer: Smaller diameter of the pipe the speed increases curves do not affect the speed Question 4 1/1pts How does velocity of the fluid change as the pipe becomes smaller? The velocity... Question 5 1/1pts How does velocity of the fluid change as the pipe becomes larger? The velocity... increases decreases.
