Steady flow occurs, when the__________________?

Correct answer: C. Conditions do not change with time at any point

  • A. Conditions change steadily with time
  • B. Conditions are the same at the adjacent points at any instant
  • C. Conditions do not change with time at any point
  • D. Rate of the velocity change is constant

Explanation

Steady flow means that properties such as velocity, pressure and density at a fixed point do not change with time. They may still vary from one location to another, so option b describes spatial uniformity rather than steadiness.
