    Lecture No. 5 CLASSIFICATION OF FLUID FLOW AND THE CONTINUITY EQUATION 5.1 Classification of Fluid Flow Uniform flow If the velocity of the fluid is the same in magnitude and direction at every point in the fluid the flow is said to be uniform. Non-uniform flow A non-uniform flow is one where the velocities at different points at a given instant are not the same. Every fluid that flows near a solid boundary will be non-uniform because the fluid at the boundary takes the velocity of the

    Fluids The amount of fluids in the body is extremely large. There are many different forms of fluid throughout the body‚ such as blood‚ urine‚ hormones‚ cerebral spinal fluid‚ water‚ albumin‚ and bile. The fluids that make up the body are required for homeostasis. There are many different functions of body fluids such as transporting nutrients‚ waste and gases‚ transforming food into energy and generate electrical activity to power body functions.

Although a significant distinction exists between liquids and gases‚ both types of fluids obey the same laws of motion. In most cases of interest‚ a fluid can be regarded as continuum‚ i

    First‚ fluids are absorbed through the gut and into the bloodstream faster when their permeability closely matches that of body fluids such as blood. Sports drinks contain dissolved minerals (sodium‚ etc.) and carbohydrates‚ whereas water doesn’t‚ so water doesn’t reach the bloodstream as quickly. Sodium and other nutrients also play important roles in regulating fluid balance in the body. In other words‚ they help determine how much
