Continuity Equation for a Branched Pipe
An incompressible fluid flows through a main pipe of cross-sectional area A₀ at a speed v₀. The pipe splits into two branches with cross-sectional areas A₁ and A₂, where the fluid speeds are v₁ and v₂, respectively. Which equation correctly represents the conservation of mass for this fluid flow?
A
A₀/v₀ = A₁/v₁ + A₂/v₂
B
A₀v₀² = A₁v₁² + A₂v₂²
C
A₀v₀ = A₁v₁ - A₂v₂
D
A₀v₀ = A₁v₁ + A₂v₂
