For an incompressible fluid in a steady flow, the increase in flow speed at a constriction is a dire

Question

For an incompressible fluid in a steady flow, the increase in flow speed at a constriction is a direct mathematical consequence of:

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

The equation of continuity ($A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$) is based on the conservation of mass. It dictates that for an incompressible fluid in steady flow, velocity is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area.
