What is the rule of thumb about the Mach number limit in order that the incompressible flow approximation is reasonable? Explain why wind tunnel results would be incorrect if this rule of thumb were violated.
One of the conditions in using the Bernoulli equation is the requirement of
inviscid flow. However there is no fluid with zero viscosity in the world except
some peculiar fluid at very low temperature. Bernoulli equation or inviscid flow
theory is still a very important branch of fluid dynamics for the following
reasons:
(i)
(ii)
There is wide region of flow where the velocity gradient is zero and so the
viscous effect does not manifest itself, such as in external flow past an un-
stalled aerofoil.
The conservation of useful energy allows the conversion of kinetic and
potential energy to pressure and hence pressure force acting normal to the
control volume or system boundary even though the tangential friction
stress is absent.
It allows the estimation of losses in internal pipe flow.
(A) (i) and (ii)
(B)
(i) and (iii)
(ii) and (iii)
All of the above
(C)
(D)
Select a common dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics from the following:
(a) angular velocity; (b) Kinematic viscosity; (c) specific volume; (d) specific weight; ( e) none of these answers
