1. We all know that fluid sometimes correlates as water or liquid or even gas which can be
classified as one of the phases of matter. One of the most distinguishable characteristic of
fluid is that it is capable of flowing and continually deforms unless there is a force acting on
it to make it in steady state. Moreover, fluid can deforms continuously under the influence
of shear stress. This leads to its difference from solid. Solid usually stays consistent to its
form unless acted upon by a force like cases wherein it has been broken and destroyed. Yet
upon rest, solid can resist deformation unlike fluids. Also solid has a definite shape but
fluids do not have since a liquid takes the shape of the container it is poured in. Therefore
solid and fluids are the opposite of each other in terms of their states in matter. And how it
reacts to a certain stress.

2 .Base on my understanding before one of the notable difference between gas and liquid centers with
the spaces they have in between their particles. Next to solid, liquid takes a lesser space on its particles
compared to that of gas. Aside from that, gas has no volume while liquid has. In addition to what we
have discuss before in fluid mechanics, fluid can be categorized as gas or as liquid. They might have
some similarities in their flow but gas is considered as compressible whereas liquids are generally
considered as incompressible.
 3..Base on our discussion, a flow can classified as being compressible or incompressible
depending on their density level during flow. Also a flow is said to be incompressible if their
material density remains constant all throughout. And whose density is somehow
independent of pressure say for an instance like liquid. When it flows, their pressure is at
low, that is why it is easy to study their behavior. On the other hand, Incompressible fluid
refers to a state in which a fluid has the capability to be stored into something. This is done
through a certain force acting on it. Hence, densities of liquids are essentially constant at a
particular temperature and whose density is independent of pressure., the flow of liquids is
typically incompressible. Therefore liquids are often referred to as incompressible fluids
since the flow of compressible fluid is not automatically compressible as the density of a
compressible fluid may still remain constant during the flow.

.4. No slip condition is a state in which a fluid which is moving at a certain surface of a pipe, and may
eventually stop. This case happens when that fluid flows along a surface and hit some point of the
surface assuming zero velocity relative to the surface, that causes stagnation pressure, and after that the
fluid will continuously flow. The principle here is that there is a friction acting on a surface the moment it
hits the pipes and eventually flow at a smooth condition. Meaning, when fluid comes with the direct
contact with a solid surface sticks to the surface and there is no slip. Hence, viscosity is the one
responsible for this type of condition.

5. The term itself explains the concept related to the forced flow. It is a state in which the fluid flows
through external forces that acted upon it. Say for an instance, because of pump or fan. Meaning to say
it involves another party unrelated to nature as this condition happens. It differs from a natural force
since it is self-proclaimed caused by non-human nor non-controllable entity. Just like in case of flows
caused by the natural means as stated in the discussion. Like wind or somehow buoyancy effect which
manifests itself as a rise of warmer fluid and fall of cooler fluid. To make it simple and clearly, it will be
considered forced when a human person does something to create the wind. Yet, if it is nature-brought,
it is indeed natural flow. And the flow of the wind is caused also by the natural flow relative to the earth,
but it can be considered also as forced flow if the bodies is subjected towards the wind.

6. Boundary layer as we have discussed before, it develops due to the no-slip condition or viscosity
effect. The region of flow near at the surface of the wall in which the velocity gradients are being
considered and frictional effects are important. When the fluid flow hit the surface, the fluid is at rest
and its has zero velocity. And then eventually it will continuously flow causes its velocity gradually
increase to some larger value. This cause by the no-slip condition.

7. A steady flow process is a way in which there is no changes occurs in between the process of flow
within the system or within system boundaries. There is a constant rate of flow wherein no properties
are changed along the volume. During the input and output process, there is no hint of changes as the
process continues. The whole interaction remains constant in any point in time. It simple term, there is
no variation or any changes of parameters involved in the process.

9. A system is closed when it is limited to just the forces or energy in a form of work that lies within its
system. Other than that, it is not open to other sources. There is no external net forces that can be
exchanged within this system although there are cases in which heat as an energy is capable of entering
the boundaries meaning to say it is a control mass or has fixed matter inside the system, it might be
heated upon the energy acting on it but still has the same mass on it. On the other hand, it is a control
volume or simply an open system when mass and energy can enter or cross along the said boundaries.
Meaning it has fixed volume but the mass can move along the system.

10. Base on what I've learn before, system refers to the focal point of the investigation or the chosen
region of the study . Meaning to say, it is also known as the subject of the process. On the other hand
surroundings refers to everything that does not scope the system. The mechanisms that are not
included in the system belongs to the surroundings. Meaning anything outside the system. And lastly,
boundary is a surface that surrounds system. As you have mention during the discussion it might be the
real or imaginary surface which separates system from surrounding.

8. Base on my understanding regards to the flow of gas, it is necessarily to consider the acceleration of
the gases in computing it. In which open system is suited in this condition as we know that it has control
or fixed volume yet, the mass can cross the boundary. Thus it is important to analyze the flow of gas
through the cross-sectional structure of the inlet and outlet of the nozzle which leads to the gas flow
past the boundaries.
