Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For a pipe with a flow section experiencing varying velocities, derive the momentum flux using correction factors and illustrate how this impacts the overall system.
💡 Hint: Utilize real experimental data to better understand how these corrections affect the calculations.
Consider a scenario of turbulent flow around bridge piers. Formulate the momentum equations reflecting the forces acting on the piers and resulting fluid behavior.
💡 Hint: Visual aids can help represent varying pressure landscapes effectively.
