Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A horizontal pipe with a diameter of 0.1 m has a fluid flowing at a velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the Reynolds number, and state whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Focus on determining whether the flow exceeds the turbulent threshold.
Water flows through a series of pipes with varying diameters, analyze how energy loss differs between a wide and narrow pipe setup using calculus-based integration of velocity profiles.
💡 Hint: Think about how fluid behavior changes as pipe dimensions vary.
