Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using a flow scenario in a water pipeline where the diameter is 0.5 meters and the average velocity is 3 m/s with a dynamic viscosity of 0.001 Pa.s, calculate the Reynolds number and state the flow type.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for Reynolds number involving velocity, diameter, and viscosity.

Question 2

Explain how designing a pipe network must account for both laminar and turbulent flow conditions to ensure efficiency.

💡 Hint: Consider the impact of flow speed and fluid properties on energy efficiency.
