Quasi- steady flow is one type of transient flow. In the characterized by the absence of inertial or elastic effects on the flow behavior. In such a flow the variation of discharges and pressures with time is gradual and over short time intervals the flow appears to be steady. Typical examples are the drawdown of a reservoir or the variation in demand in water distribution system over a 24- hour period.

What is critical velocity in fluid flow?
The flow of a liquid remains steady or orderly only so long as its velocity does not exceed a certain limiting value for it, called critical velocity.
What is steady heat flow?
In most realistic situations heat flow can be said to occur from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature. As the region of higher temperature loses heat and the other region gains heat their temperatures become closer and the rate of heat flow diminishes. If, however, it can be contrived to maintain the source of heat at a constant temperature and the destination of the heat also at a constant temperature, then the heat will flow between the two at a constant rate, called steady heat flow.
What is the Tangential flow in turbine?
When flow of water on turbine is tangential, flow is tangential flow
What is a non-return valve?
it allows flow only on one side... the return path (opposite flow ) not possible..
What is the difference between normal flowrate and Actual flow rate?
Normal flow is 100% of the flow you actually expect. Rated flow is the maximum safety factor times the normal flow. i.e. for a maximum safety factor of 1.2 Normal flow = 100 gpm Rated flow = 1.2*100 gpm = 120 gpm Safety factors are applied to ensure a piece of equipment has some flexibility of operating conditions in its application. The minimum flow is the minimum safety factor time the normal flow i.e. i.e. for a maximum safety factor of 0.5 Normal flow = 100 gpm Rated flow = 0.5*100 gpm = 50 gpm If sized properly a pump specified in this way could operate at any point between 50 and 120gpm with no problems.
