Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a fluid passes through a nozzle, entering at 15 ft/s and exiting at 35 ft/s, compute the average acceleration if the time taken was 2 seconds. How does this relate to the principles of continuity?
💡 Hint: Remember how velocity and area are interconnected in continuous flow systems.
Given a reducing diameter nozzle with inlet diameter D1 = 4 inches and outlet diameter D2 = 2 inches, if the fluid enters at a velocity of 20 ft/s, calculate the exit velocity.
💡 Hint: Ensure you remember the area calculation for circular sections.
