The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius did not produce lava flows. It was a Plinian eruption, produducing a massive ash plume and pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are not lava flows, they are masses of hot ash, rock, and gas that resemble avalanches. Nobody was able to clock the speed of these flows, but by comparing it to similar events it is likely that these flows moved at well over 100 mph.

What is relation between flow rate and actuator speed?

Flow rate is directly proportional to actuator speed. Increasing the actuator speed will result in higher flow rates, while decreasing actuator speed will decrease flow rates. Actuator speed controls the flow of a fluid or material through a system by adjusting the rate at which the actuator allows the material to flow.

What is the speed at which an acoustic wave propagates in an incompressible flow?

The speed at which an acoustic wave propagates in an incompressible flow is determined by the bulk modulus of the medium through which the wave is traveling. In an incompressible flow, the speed of sound is constant and does not change with pressure or density variations.
