Practice question
Question
Why does a fluid’s flow rate remain constant in a pipe of varying diameter?
Explanation
The equation of continuity (Av = constant) ensures that the mass flow rate (volume flow rate for an incompressible fluid) remains constant, as the product of area and velocity adjusts inversely with diameter changes.
