Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid flows in a pipe into a tank with varying diameters. Given different velocities at each section, calculate the overall momentum entering the tank.
💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the cross-sectional area at each diameter.
In a system with turbulent flow, the density varies significantly. Apply the momentum flux correction factor to find the accurate momentum transfer.
💡 Hint: Adjust calculations based on observed flow patterns.
