Question
What does the equation of continuity imply about fluid flow in a pipe of varying cross-section?
Explanation
The equation of continuity (Av = constant) states that the product of cross-sectional area and velocity remains constant for an incompressible fluid in steady flow. As the area decreases, velocity increases to conserve mass flow rate.
