Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Assume a nozzle with an inlet pressure of 200 kPa. If the outlet area is 0.01 m² and the coefficient of discharge is 0.85, find the actual flow rate in liters per minute.
💡 Hint: Convert units as necessary and remember to consider the pressure difference.
How would you modify your calculations if you found that the flow was highly turbulent and the discharge coefficient was only 0.65 instead of 0.85?
💡 Hint: Focus on the impact of changes in the discharge coefficient on fluid flow predictions.
