Question

For an incompressible fluid, the discharge is usually expressed as the:

• A. weight per second of the fluid
• B. density difference of the fluid
• C. mass flow rate of the fluid
• D. volume flow rate of the fluid

Answer 1

Answer:

D. volume flow rate of the fluid

The discharge of an incompressible fluid is usually expressed as the volume of flowing fluid per unit of time. This is because the units of discharge for liquids are m3/s or litres/s.
