Question

If you measure the flow conditions (velocity, pressure, temperature) at a single point and conditions do not change over time, the flow is characterized as

Answer 1

Steady flow

Step-by-step explanation:

Flows in fluids can be categorized into different classes depending on the type of flow and the variations in their characteristics such as velocity, pressure, density, temperature, e.t.c

When these characteristics do not change when measured over time at a single point, then the flow is said to be steady. For a steady flow, the mathematical expression, amidst other conditions, is given as follows;

`(dV)/(dt) = 0, (dP)/(dt) = 0, (dT)/(dt) = 0`

Where;

V, P and T are the velocity, pressure and temperature of the fluid.

PS:

Other types of flows include:

i. Unsteady flow

ii. Laminar flow

iii. Turbulent flow

iv. Uniform flow

v Non-uniform flow

vi. Rotational flow

vii. Irrotational flow
