Where is fluid velocity greatest in a pipe?
In the middle of the pipe
What is true about the velocity of a fluid in the middle of a pipe?
The velocity is greatest
What is constant for a fluid flowing through a pipe?
The mass flow rate
What is true about the mass flow rate of a fluid in a pipe?
The mass flow rate is constant
What happens to the velocity of a fluid flowing through a pipe when the pipe becomes narrower?
The velocity increases
What would cause the velocity of a fluid flowing through a pipe to increase?
The pipe becoming narrower
What happens to the velocity of a fluid flowing through a pipe when the pipe becomes wider?
The velocity decreases
What would cause the velocity of a fluid flowing through a pipe to decrease?
The pipe becoming wider
What does Bernoulli’s principle state?
