Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid of viscosity 0.001 Pa.s flows between two infinite parallel plates with a gap of 0.01 m under a pressure drop of 1000 Pa/m. Calculate the velocity at the center and at the edge.

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Use formulas discussed in class and plug in your values carefully.

Question 2

If the Reynolds number for a fluid flow in a pipe increases above 2000, discuss the implications for the velocity profile and flow characteristics.

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Think about how flow characteristics differ when fewer layers are organized.
