For one dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid in unsteady state in x-direction, the continuity equation is given by_______________?

Correct answer: A. ∂u/∂x = 0

  • A. ∂u/∂x = 0
  • B. ∂(ρu)/∂x = 0
  • C. (∂u/∂x) = - (∂ρ/∂t)
  • D. ∂ρ/∂t = 0

Explanation

For incompressible flow, density is constant, so the one-dimensional continuity equation reduces to ∂u/∂x = 0. Unsteadiness does not alter this result when there is only one flow direction.
