Potential flow is the flow of______________?
Correct answer: D. Incompressible fluids with no shear
- A. Compressible fluids with shear
- B. Compressible fluids with no shear
- C. Incompressible fluids with shear
- D. Incompressible fluids with no shear
Explanation
In the usual chemical-engineering idealisation, potential flow is irrotational and has no viscous shear, and it is commonly treated as incompressible. Thus the intended description is incompressible flow with no shear.
