Q1: Flow through the converging nozzle can be approximated by the one-dimensional velocity
distribution u = u ( x, t ) . For the nozzle shown, the velocity distribution is given as
2x
u V0 t + .
L
(a) Find a general expression for the fluid acceleration in the nozzle.
(b) For the specific case, V0 = 10 ft and L = 6in , compute the acceleration at the entrance and
at the exit.
Q2: Suppose that the temperature field is given by T ( x, y ) = 4 x 2 − 3 y 3 and associated two-
dimensional velocity field is expressed as V ( x, y ) = ( x 2 − y 2 + x ) i − ( 2 xy + y ) j .
(a) Compute the rate of change in temperature at a point (1,2).
