Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a system where you can practically observe the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Explain how you would conduct the experiment and what indicators you would note.
💡 Hint: Look for changes in flow stability with increasing velocity.
Calculate whether airflow can be treated as incompressible or compressible at speeds approaching 200 m/s. Justify your reasoning using the Mach number.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between flow speed and sound speed in determining compressibility.
