Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a turbulent flow in a pipe has a Reynolds number of 4 million, and the relative roughness is 0.01, what is the friction factor using the Moody chart?

💡 Hint: Study the chart closely; you will observe different zones.

Question 2

For a non-circular duct with a hydraulic diameter of 0.2m, if the flowing viscosity is 0.001 Pa.s at a velocity of 3m/s, calculate the wall shear stress.

💡 Hint: Remember to find the density first and adjust for the hydraulic diameter.
