Must the flow of a compressible fluid be treated as compressible?

No, if the pressure difference results in a density change of less than thirty percent (30%) the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density of the fluid equals the average density and that the density is constant.

What viscosity level was the fluid flow rate the highest?
The relationship between radius and fluid flow rate is inversely proportional. As radius goes down, fluid flow rate goes up. The highest fluid flow rate will be at the lowest radius.
What is venturi meter?
Measuring flow of a fluid based on Bernoulli's principle.
Is it true that condensation is the resistance of a fluid to flow?
No, resistance to flow is viscosity.
When can you increase the flow rate of a fluid in your daily life?
The flow rate of a fliud or liquid could be increased (depending on the situation) by increasing the amount of the fluid, then channelising this fluid into a narrow channel.
What does it mean for a substance to flow?
It would be a fluid.
Must the flow of compressible fluid necessarily be treated as compressible?
No, for gases if the difference in pressure results in a density change of less than approximately thirty percent (30%), the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density to be the average density which remains constant.

What is the properties of gass?
They are fluid (can flow into and takes the shape of any container), compressible (volume can decrease without change in mass), and have no fixed shape.
What fluid opposes lift?
Compressible fluid force opposes lift. Lift is the upward force due to the fluid flow around an airplane wing. Weight is a downward force caused by gravity which opposes lift.

What conditions must be present for a fluid to flow?
pressure gradient
What is meant by incompressible viscous fluid?
Which word do you not understand? incompressible - cannot be compressed viscous - resistant to flow, "thick" fluid - substance that flows (both gases and liquids are fluids, but gases are usually compressible; liquids generally aren't)
What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
