Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a fluid with a density of 850 kg/m³, flowing with a velocity of 3 m/s through a pipe with a diameter of 0.05 m. If the dynamic viscosity is 0.0009 Pa·s, calculate the Reynolds number and determine the flow type.

💡 Hint: Apply the Reynolds number formula carefully.

Question 2

A circular pipe experiences turbulent flow. Discuss the implications of head loss in this situation and how it can be minimized in design.

💡 Hint: Think about designs that promote smooth flow.
