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.
