Question

A nozzle is designed to accelerate the fluid from V1 to V2 in a linear fashion. That is, V =ax + b, where a and b are constants. If the

flow is constant with V1 = 10 m/s at x1 = 0 and V2 =25 m/s at x2 = 1 m, determine the local acceleration, the convective acceleration, and the acceleration of the fluid at points (1) and(2).
