Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a circular pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m, a fluid with a density of 850 kg/m³, and a dynamic viscosity of 0.002 Pa·s. If the average velocity is 1.5 m/s, classify the flow type and justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Use the Reynolds number formula.

Question 2

Describe how you would experimentally determine if a new fluid shows laminar or turbulent behavior, detailing the setup and procedures.

💡 Hint: Consider how flow patterns can indicate the type.
