Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a fluid with a known shear stress and pressure gradient, derive the total stress tensor in a control volume.

💡 Hint: Focus on combining the shear and normal stress equations into a tensor format.

Question 2

In a hydraulic system operating at varying atmospheric pressures, discuss how control volumes would be defined to isolate the internal fluid pressures.

💡 Hint: Consider how changes in external conditions demand adjustments in the definitions of your control volume.
