Continuity Equation
The Continuity Equation simulation allows learners to explore the effect of variations in the cross-sectional area of a pipe on the speed at which fluid flows through the pipe. There are three regions whose area can easily be modified. The results of the changes are immediately observable.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. The Physics Classroom has not yet prepared a student activity for this simulation.
