Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a fluid with dynamic viscosity μ = 0.001 Pa·s flowing between two plates separated by 0.1 m, with a pressure gradient dp/dx = -50 Pa/m, determine the wall shear stress.

💡 Hint: Make sure to correctly apply the relationship between shear stress and viscosity with the velocity gradient.

Question 2

Discuss how the average velocity changes in the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in a channel.

💡 Hint: Think about how eddies in turbulent flow impact the speed of fluid at different depths.
