Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
