Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid flows through a 0.1 m diameter pipe at 1.5 m/s with a viscosity of 0.002 Pa·s. Is the flow laminar or turbulent? Calculate the Reynolds number.

💡 Hint: Remember the factors in the Reynolds number.

Question 2

Design a piping system for a building that minimizes head loss while ensuring adequate pressure. Consider flow rates and pipe diameter.

💡 Hint: How does pipe diameter affect friction?
