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.
