What happens to the velocity of fluid flow in a pipe with decreasing cross-sectional area?
- A Increases
- B Decreases
- C Remains constant
- D Depends on the fluid viscosity
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
According to the Continuity Equation, when the cross-sectional area of a pipe decreases, the velocity of fluid flow increases to maintain mass conservation. This relationship between velocity and cross-sectional area is essential for understanding fluid behavior in pipes and channels with varying geometries.
