Sample Practice Problems

Preview the types of problems and questions covered in this worksheet

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.99 Fluid Flow and Continuity skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A pump doubles the volume flow rate through a pipe section. Which design change would keep the speed in that section unchanged?

AHalve the cross-sectional area.

BDouble the cross-sectional area.

CKeep the same area.

DQuadruple the flow rate again.

Solution & Explanation:Speed is v = Q/A. If Q doubles and v must stay the same, A must also double.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A flow meter assumes density is constant and reports Av = 0.030 m³/s at a gas inlet. At the outlet, density is 75% of the inlet density. If the area is unchanged and mass flow is steady, what is the outlet value of Av?

A0.0225 m³/s

B0.030 m³/s

C0.040 m³/s

D0.075 m³/s

Solution & Explanation:Mass flow rate rho Av is constant. If density falls to 0.75 of its original value, Av must increase by 1/0.75, giving 0.030/0.75 = 0.040 m³/s.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A nozzle array has one main inlet of total area 12 cm² and six identical holes, each area 2 cm². If all holes carry equal speed and the fluid is incompressible, how does each hole speed compare with the inlet speed?

AIt is 6 times the inlet speed.

BIt is one-sixth of the inlet speed.

CIt is twice the inlet speed.

DIt is the same as the inlet speed.

Solution & Explanation:The six holes have total area 6*2 = 12 cm², equal to the inlet area. With equal total area and the same flow rate, the exit speed equals the inlet speed.
