Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the Reynolds number for a fluid with a density of 1000 kg/m³, viscosity of 0.001 Pa.s, and flow velocity of 2 m/s in a pipe with a diameter of 0.05 m. Discuss whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for Reynolds number.
Design a mini project to demonstrate the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Outline your method and expected results.
💡 Hint: Consider how you will measure and control flow rates.
