Q

How is the law of conservation of mass useful in solving fluid problems?

Q

How does Newton’s second law help to solve fluid problems with respect to finite control volume analysis (FCVA)?

Ref: Pg 158

20
Q

Newton’s second law of motion for a system can be described by …

A

The time rate of change of the linear momentum of the system = the sum of the external forces acting on the system.

Ref: Pg 159

21
Q

Give examples of an “inertial” reference frame.

A
  1. A fixed coordinate system.
  2. A coordinate system that moves in a straight line with constant velocity and is thus without acceleration.

23
Q

The time rate of change of a system’s linear momentum is expressed as ________.

A

The sum of the two control volume quantities: the time rate of change of the linear momentum of the contents of the control volume, and the net rate of linear momentum flow through the control surface.

Ref: Pg 159

24
Q

True or False
As particles of mass move into or out of a control volume through the control surface, they carry linear momentum in or out. Thus, linear momentum flow should seem no more unusual than mass flow.
