Undergrad How can I integrate variable velocity in fluid mechanics?

Click For Summary
To integrate variable velocity in fluid mechanics, understanding linear momentum is crucial. Resources like "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot, as well as "Landau and Lifshitz vol. 6," are recommended for deeper insights. Many users struggle to find practical examples of integration in available videos and literature. The choice of reference material may depend on the student's background and specific needs. Exploring these texts can enhance comprehension of momentum in fluid mechanics.

Material: momentum in fluid mechanics
Do you know of any place where I can look up things about the momentum (linear momentum) in fluid mechanics? It's just that when I have a variable velocity and it has to be integrated, I don't quite understand how to do it.

I have looked for videos and things and I can't find that they are integrating.

A very nice book on hydro is Landau and Lifshitz vol. 6.

Appropriate references are going to vary by the background of the student.
 

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
