Define incompressible flow and incompressible fluid. Must the flow of a compressible fluid necessarily be treated as compressible?

What will be an ideal response?


A fluid flow during which the density of the fluid remains nearly constant is called incompressible flow. A fluid whose density is practically independent of pressure (such as a liquid) is called an incompressible fluid. The flow of compressible fluid (such as air) is not necessarily compressible since the density of a compressible fluid may still remain constant during flow.

Use the following information to solve problems 7 through 10. A drafter must determine several measurements before a gear can be drawn. These measurements are often found by using formulas. Most gear-cutting data can be found if the diametral pitch P and the number of teeth N are known. Given the diametral pitch P is 8, and the number of teeth N is 96, use the following formulas to solve the problems.a. Pitch Diameter D:  b. Outside Diameter O:  c. Addendum A:
