If the volume flow rates at the inlet and atthe outlet are the same, is the flow through this device necessarily steady? Why?
A thick parcel of air is hovering above Huntsville, AL. You are flying a drone that is stuck in this airflow. The pressure at the leftmost point of the parcel is 840 mb whereas that at the rightmost point is 834 mb. Wind moving at 60 m/s takes 20 seconds to move across the entire parcel. What is the Pressure Gradient Force in this air parcel?

Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas in the second site the wind blows at 10 m/s for 1500 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine which is a better site for wind power generation. Hint: Note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity.
