Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a control volume in a turbulent flow where pressure varies across the surface, derive the expression of the resultant force balance accounting for gauge pressure.

💡 Hint: Use known relationships between force, pressure, and area during integration.

Question 2

Given a scenario in a structural beam under fluid flow, analyze the stress distribution using the stress tensor and suggest modifications to reduce shear stress effects.

💡 Hint: Consider geometric shapes that minimize shear forces.
