The continuity equation in ideal fluid flow states that__________________?
Correct answer: A. Net rate of inflow into any small volume must be zero
- A. Net rate of inflow into any small volume must be zero
- B. Energy is not constant along a streamline
- C. Energy is constant along a streamline
- D. There exists a velocity potential
Explanation
The continuity equation expresses conservation of mass, so for steady incompressible flow the net rate of inflow into a small control volume is zero. Energy conservation along a streamline belongs to Bernoulli's equation, not continuity.
