Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a pipe with varying diameter; how can you determine the velocity profile at each section?
💡 Hint: Think about how diameter affects both area and subsequent velocity.
Given a variable density fluid in a pipe with known inflow and outflow, calculate the mass conservation across sections.
💡 Hint: Keep in mind the interplay between density and velocity in the incompressible flow assumption.
