Consider a steady flow through a horizontal divergent channel, as shown in the figure, with the supersonic flow at the inlet. The direction of flow is from left to right.

Pressure at location B is observed to be higher than that at an upstream location A. Which among the following options can be the reason?

The velocity field in a fluid is given to be $\vec{V}=(4xy)\hat{i}+2(x^2-y^2)\hat{j}$ Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

A tube of uniform diameter D is immersed in a steady flowing inviscid liquid stream of velocity V, as shown in the figure. Gravitational acceleration is represented by g. The volume flow rate through the tube is ______.

The steady velocity field in an inviscid fluid of density 1.5 is given to be $\vec{V}=(y^2-x^2)\hat{i}+(2xy)\hat{j} $. Neglecting body forces, the pressure gradient at (x =1, y = 1) is ______.
