Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid flows over a plate with a known displacement thickness of 3 mm. If the free stream velocity is 10 m/s, calculate the mass flow rate reduction due to this thickness over a 1 m section of the plate.

💡 Hint: Think about applying the continuity equation with adjustments based on displacement.

Question 2

In a turbulent flow scenario, the momentum thickness is determined to be 2 cm. If the total drag experienced by a surface area of 0.5 m² is 30 N, estimate the friction coefficient based on the momentum thickness.

💡 Hint: Investigate standard drag equations like F = C * A * ρ * V².
