What is a steady-flow process?

Expert Solution
Step 1

A steady flow process is a process that is defined for flow problems in an open system. In a steady flow process, both energy and matter are allowed to come in and go out from an open system at steady rates. So there is not any change in energy and mass for the steady flow processes because no mass and energy can accumulate in the system as the energy and matter flow takes place at a steady rate.
