Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid flows through a nozzle into a tank at a constant rate while the tank has an outflow spout. Create an equation using the Reynolds Transport Theorem to establish a relationship between influx and outflux in steady state.
💡 Hint: Consider the conservation of mass as the first step in relating influx and outflux.
You have a closed tank filled with water, and water is removed at a constant rate while it's being replenished at a varying rate. Create a model to predict the water level over time using control volume concepts.
💡 Hint: Express flows as functions of time if necessary.
