Mechanical Engineering Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
  • A
    is steady and uniform
  • B
    takes place in straight line
  • C
    takes place in curve
  • D
    takes place in one direction

Answer

Correct Answer: takes place in one direction

Explanation

Concept/ApproachIn 1-D flow, all primary flow properties are assumed to vary along a single spatial coordinate (one direction). The pathline may be curved locally; the key modeling assumption is the single predominant direction of variation.

Final Answertakes place in one direction
