Heatandmasstransfer-Assignment 1

1) This chapter introduced concepts like the stream function, vorticity, and velocity potential that will be useful for analyzing fluid flows, especially incompressible flows. 2) Classical solutions were discussed for inviscid flows like uniform stream, source, sink, and vortex flows, as well as viscous flows like Couette and Poiseuille flows. 3) While the basic equations of fluid mechanics have been derived, analytical solutions are often not possible for complex geometries and boundary conditions, requiring experimental analysis.

In addition to deriving the basic equations of mass, momentum, and energy, this

chapter introduced some supplementary ideas—the stream function, vorticity, irrota-


tionality, and the velocity potential—which will be useful in coming chapters, espe-
cially Chap. 8. Temperature and density variations will be neglected except in Chap.
9, where compressibility is studied.
This chapter ended by discussing a few classical solutions for inviscid flows (uni-
form stream, source, sink, vortex, half-body) and for viscous flows (Couette flow due
