Which of these parameters in quasi – one dimensional flow varies w.r.t. x as opposed to the one – dimensional flow?

A)
Density
B)
Pressure
C)
Temperature
D)
Cross – sectional area

Correct Answer :   Cross – sectional area


Explanation : One – dimensional flows are those flows that have a constant crossectional area and only the flow variables i.e. pressure, velocity, density, temperature etc vary wrt x. What separates Quasi one – dimensional flow from this is the variable cross – sectional area wrt x.
