- FLUID FLOW PRINCIPLES

- Three basic principle that applies in fluid .

- CONTINUITY: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTINUITY IS

ESSENTIALLY THAT MASS CANT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED

STEADY: A STEADY FLOW IS ONE IN WHICH THE CONDITIONS (VELOCITY, PRESSURE AND CROSS SECTION) MAY DIFFER FROM POINT TO POINT BUT DO NOT CHANGE WITH TIME -STEADY FLOW SITUATION: IN A STEADY FLUID FLOW SITUATION IT MEANS THAT

THE SUM OF THE MASS FLOWS IN TO A CONTROL

VOLUME EQUAL THE SUM OF THE MASS FLOWS OUT OF THE SAME CONTROL VOLUME

CONSERVATION OF MASS (CONTINUIT Y PRINCIPLE)
