Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the Wayne Pipe Reynolds number for a flow of 5 m/s through a pipe of diameter 0.1 m with a viscosity of 0.002 Pa.s. Discuss whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.

💡 Hint: Remember to use the formula for Reynolds number and interpret the result.

Question 2

Design a small water system using a gate valve and globe valve. Address the potential efficiency issues with energy losses. What modifications would you recommend?

💡 Hint: Consider the operational context of each valve and where it may affect flow.
