Practice mode Fluid Dynamics

The equation of continuity A₁v₁ = A₂v₂ for an incompressible fluid is a consequence of the conservation of ____.

Correct answer C. mass

Explanation

For an incompressible fluid the mass entering one end of a tube per second must equal the mass leaving the other end. Since density is constant, Av stays constant, expressing conservation of mass.
