It's only like ten times more compressible than diamond, if I remember my schooling correctly.
In liquid water, mechanical engineers are usually free to assume incompressability. This makes solving the math a lot easier, though absolutely cannot be done for gases.
- SilasX 10y agoWell, even for gasses, your results are accurate enough as long as the Mach number is below 0.3: http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/incompressible+flow http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/incompressible+fl...
- calgaryeng 10y agoThis is not done in practice. Be careful getting engineering advice from the Free Dictionary.
- SilasX 10y agoIt reflected what I was taught in fluid/gas dynamics courses for my degree, and you'll see the same point made in various other places.
