Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a pipe where water flows, experiencing a drop in pressure from 150 kPa to 120 kPa over a 10 meter stretch at a constant elevation. Calculate the flow velocity assuming incompressibility.
💡 Hint: You need to express the change in kinetic energy.
An aircraft measures airflow using a pitot tube. The static pressure recorded is 101.3 kPa while dynamic pressure is 20.7 kPa. Calculate the stagnation pressure.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to sum both pressure types to find stagnation.
