Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the velocity of a fluid exiting through a circular orifice given a pressure difference of 5.0 kPa. Assume atmospheric pressure and a standard fluid density.
💡 Hint: Rearrange the equation to isolate v.
Design a system where you need to determine flow rate through a venturimeter linked to a tank at a specific height. Use Bernoulli's principle and fluid height differences to derive the equations.
💡 Hint: Consider height differences affecting pressure as you apply Bernoulli’s equation.
