5.2 Momentum Equation for Two and Three


dimensional Flow along a Streamline
• Both momentum and force are
vector quantities  they can be
resolving into components in the x
and y directions.

Fx  Rate of change of momentum in x direction


 Mass flow rate  Change of velocity in x direction
 m (v2 cos f  v1 cos q )  m (vx 2  vx1 )

Fy  Rate of change of momentum in y direction


 Mass flow rate  Change of velocity in y direction
 m (v2 sin f  v1 sin q )  m (v y 2  v y1 )
