Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Question

1) A compressor is delivering air at a pressure of 8 bar gauge at the rate of 10 m/min
f.a.d. Average circuit demand is 4 m3/min. of free air, at a minimum pressure of 6
