Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe with a diameter of 0.1 m carries water at a speed of 3 m/s. If the flow is turbulent, calculate the kinetic energy correction factor α.
💡 Hint: Reference standard turbulent flow data for estimates.
You have a venturimeter with a diameter of 0.2 m at the inlet and 0.1 m at the throat. If the pressure at the inlet is 150 kPa and at the throat is 50 kPa, what is the flow rate?
💡 Hint: Refer to the venturi equation for clarity on the relationship between diameters and velocities.
