Example: convective acceleration The nozzle shown below is 0.5 m long. Velocity in the nozzle varies with position: uo U = where uo: entrance velocity. 0.5x 1- L Find the convective acceleration at x = 0.25 m. 10 m/s 20 m/s Approach: Derivative of velocity equation, multiply by velocity function. Evaluate at position of interest to find convective acceleration at that location.
