Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
