  • To measure flow rate

💡 Hint: Consider when you're dealing with varying velocities across a cross-section.

Question 2

True or False: In laminar flow, the value of β is approximately 1.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the classic definitions of flow regimes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe has a diameter of 0.5m at the entrance and 0.2m at the exit. Water flows through the pipe at a speed of 5m/s at the entrance. Calculate the speed at the exit.

💡 Hint: Use the area of the circular cross-section to compute A.

Question 2

1L of water flows into a tank with a 0.1 m² cross-section. If the height of the water rises 0.5 meters, what is the inlet velocity needed to achieve this rise in 2 seconds?

💡 Hint: Remember to convert cubic meters to liters when necessary.
