The continuity equation states that for an incompressible fluid in a streamtube:

A

Pressure × velocity = constant

B

Area × velocity = constant (mass flow is conserved)

C

Density × pressure = constant

D

Velocity × temperature = constant

B

Area × velocity = constant (mass flow is conserved)✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

The continuity equation (A1V1 = A2V2) shows that when a streamtube narrows, velocity must increase to maintain constant mass flow.
