Volume flow rate ( Q = A \times v )

If you make a pipe narrower, the same ( Q ) means velocity must increase — like putting your thumb over a garden hose. fluid mechanics for dummies pdf

Fluid | Viscosity (relative to water) | Feels like
--- | --- | ---
Water | 1 | Water
Olive oil | ~80 | Syrup
Honey | ~2,000 | Cold honey
Pitch | ~230 billion | Solid (but flows over years) Volume flow rate ( Q = A \times v )

Before you open a PDF, you need a mental map. Here are the 5 pillars of fluid mechanics, explained in plain English. If you make a pipe narrower, the same

While there is no standalone “Fluid Mechanics for Dummies,” the book “Physics I For Dummies” (by Steven Holzner) has an entire chapter on fluids. That chapter alone is worth the price. You can usually find a PDF excerpt via Google Books or your library’s e-lending service.

This is the easiest equation in fluid mechanics. It says: What goes in must come out.
