Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid with a density of 1200 kg/m³ flows at a speed of 5 m/s through a venturi meter. Calculate the dynamic pressure and stagnation pressure when the static pressure is measured at 200 kPa.
💡 Hint: Use the equations: dynamic pressure = 0.5 * ρ * V² and total pressure = static + dynamic.
Design a simple experiment using an orifice meter to measure fluid through a pipe. Describe the expected outcomes and the role of dynamic pressure.
💡 Hint: Think about how to account for energy losses and use empirical data.
