Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fighter plane needs to maintain its velocity while refueling from another aircraft. If the internal diameter of the pipe is increased to 0.15 m and flow rate increases to 700 liters per minute, how would the thrust calculation change?

💡 Hint: Reapply the principles of continuity and momentum conservation.

Question 2

Explore how environmental factors like temperature at high altitudes affect the properties of the fuel being transferred. Discuss potential adjustments required in the thrust calculations.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to fluid behavior in varying temperature conditions.
