May the continuity equation be used in the analysis of a pipeline? What about the equation of momenta and the Bernoulli equation?

Answer»


Solution :The continuity equation follows from the law of conservation of mass. Hence it is VALID for an arbitrary stationary fluid FLOW. The equation of MOMENTA and the Bernoulli equation were DERIVED for an ideal fluid, i.e. a fluid whose VISCOSITY may be neglected. At the same time viscosity of fluid plays an important part in pipelines and the friction forces cannot be neglected.
