Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid is flowing through a pipe with varying diameter. If the fluid is treated as incompressible, derive the relationship between velocities using Bernoulli's equation and explain any limitations.
💡 Hint: Think about applying conservation laws and how velocity relates to cross-sectional area.
In a hydraulic system, how can Bernoulli’s equation be modified to account for energy losses due to friction? Illustrate your answer with a diagram.
💡 Hint: Consider the elements of potential, kinetic, and loss factors in your diagram.
