Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a cylindrical water tank with a hole at the bottom, calculate how high the water must be filled for water to flow out at a specific velocity. Assume atmospheric pressure at the free surface.
💡 Hint: Consider the elevation head as the difference in height from the hole to the free surface.
A Pitot tube measures a pressure difference corresponding to a fluid velocity of 15 m/s. Calculate the pressure difference and explore how it can vary with airspeed.
💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the specific weight of the fluid; for air, use the density at prevailing conditions.
