question 1 :
A velocity potential in a two-dimensional flow is given as φ = 3xy2 – x3 . Find the stream function which is perpendicular to velocity potential
question 2 :
Write down equations that represents the volume flow rate and the mass flow rate. Show the resultant units of equations in terms of MLT system
We know that
Velocity component in x-direction is given by
= - 3y2 + 3x2
Velocity component i y -direction is given by
= - 6xy
Also Stream function is given by
Integrating both sides
= -3x2y + C ......(1)
where C = constant of integration
Also
Integrate b/s
C = y3
Put in(1)
2.) Volume flow rate(Q) is given by
Q = AxV
where V = velocity in m/s
A = area in m2/s
Units of volume flow rate is m3/s in SI system i.e [M0L3T-1]
Mass flow rate (m) is given by
where = density of fluid
Units of mass flow rate is kg/sec in SI system i.e [MLoT-1]
