Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A variable-area pipe reduces its diameter from 10 cm to 5 cm. If the fluid speed at 10 cm is 2 m/s, what is the new speed at 5 cm?
💡 Hint: Use the principle that mass flow rate must remain constant.
In a horizontal pipe, the velocity of water increases from 3 m/s to 9 m/s between two sections. How does this affect the pressure difference? Assume density of water is 1000 kg/m^3.
💡 Hint: Consider the change in kinetic energy as fluid velocity increases.
