Question 1

What is the primary function of the hydrodynamic boundary layer?

  • To provide insulation
  • To describe velocity changes
  • To increase pressure

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens to a fluid as it approaches a wall.

Question 2

True or False: The thickness of the thermal boundary layer is always greater than that of the hydrodynamic boundary layer.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how thermal and momentum properties interact based on their definitions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a fluid with a Prandtl number of 5, determine the relationship in thickness between the hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layers when flowing over a flat plate.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer back to the definitions and relationships of Prandtl number effects.

Question 2

A pipe has a turbulent flow with a Reynolds number of 10,000. Describe the impacts on the hydrodynamic boundary layer versus a laminar flow situation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the difference in how fluid particles behave under different flow conditions.
