Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pump increases the pressure of water from 100 kPa to 300 kPa while double the velocity. Using Bernoulli's equation, calculate the potential energy difference involved.
💡 Hint: Apply Bernoulli's principles to assess energy differentials.
In a turbine operating an ideal cycle, the velocity of fluid entering is 5 m/s and exiting 3 m/s. How would this be represented in pressure drop?
💡 Hint: Consider how the momentum change relates to energy conservation.
