Summary
Flow Rate Conservation
, often encapsulated by the
Principle of continuity
, states that the
Mass Flow Rate
must stay constant from one cross-section to another if the fluid is incompressible and flow is steady. This means that for an
Incompressible Fluid
,
Changes in area
must be compensated by
Changes in velocity
to maintain
Constant flow
.
