Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid flows around a cylindrical object. If the pressure gradient on one side of the cylinder is 500 Pa/m and on the opposite side is 300 Pa/m, calculate the expected net force acting on the fluid around the cylinder.

💡 Hint: Remember the basic principle: Force = Pressure x Area.

Question 2

In a complex machinery system, analyze how changes in stream functions would affect the overall energy efficiency of fluid movement.

💡 Hint: Consider how energy conservation applies with changing velocities.
