The continuity equation___________________?
Correct answer: C. Represents the conservation of mass
- A. Is independent of the compressibility of the fluid
- B. Is dependent upon the viscosity of the fluid
- C. Represents the conservation of mass
- D. None of these
Explanation
The continuity equation is obtained from conservation of mass, equating mass flow entering and leaving a control volume. It applies to both compressible and incompressible fluids, although the form of the equation changes with density.
