Can anyone explain to me reynolds transport theorem in the simplest way possible? for eg, under what circumstances is it used...etc
Understanding the Basics of Reynolds Transport Theorem
Click For Summary
The Reynolds Transport Theorem is fundamental in continuum mechanics, linking the total change in mass, momentum, or energy within a control volume to the sources and sinks inside it, as well as the flux across its boundaries. It applies when analyzing systems where the control volume may vary in size and shape. The theorem is crucial for understanding fluid dynamics and other physical processes. It provides a mathematical framework for conservation laws in various engineering applications. Mastery of this theorem is essential for solving complex problems in fluid mechanics and related fields.
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air.
Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side.
Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct?
What is the pressure for all points in senario C?
(My question is basically coming from watching...
