Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid in a pipe has a density of 1000 kg/m³, flows at a velocity of 1 m/s, has a characteristic length of 0.5 m, and a viscosity of 0.001 Pa.s. Calculate the Reynolds number.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for Reynolds number to substitute the given values.
Design an experimental setup to illustrate the flow transition using the Reynolds number. What variables will you control and what observations do you anticipate?
💡 Hint: Think about factors affecting flow properties.
