Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a pipe with varying diameter, calculate at which points you would expect laminar versus turbulent flow based on Reynolds number, providing fluid properties.

💡 Hint: Consider how changing the diameter affects flow velocity and thus the Reynolds number.

Question 2

Design an experiment using the Reynolds apparatus to visualize the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, explaining the expected outcomes.

💡 Hint: Think about how observing the dye’s movement helps illustrate the concept of flow regimes.
