Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a piping system using conceptual momentum calculations that could provide efficient irrigation across a field, including pressure losses.
💡 Hint: Consider external forces acting on the fluid and how flow resistance might affect pressure and momentum.
Analyze a scenario where a jet of fluid exits a nozzle at varying angles. Calculate the resulting forces as a function of the jet velocity and angle.
💡 Hint: Break down the forces into components for easier calculations.
