Problem 4.34: Given: Find: Solution

This document summarizes the solution to a problem finding the maximum velocity (umax) of fluid flow in a channel given inlet and outlet flow data. It states the basic continuity equation for fluid flow and assumptions of steady, incompressible flow. By evaluating the continuity equation at the inlet and outlet and solving, it is shown that umax is equal to 3/2 times the average inlet velocity U. Therefore, given a numerical value for U, the maximum velocity umax can be calculated as 3.75 m/s.
