Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cylindrical tank has two inlets and one outlet. If water enters each inlet at different velocities and densities, how would you compute the overall flow rate leaving the outlet? Consider the effects of pressure and velocity variations across the tank.
💡 Hint: Focus on the contributions from both inlets and the outlet area.
Design a control volume model for a turbine and identify key inputs and outputs. Explain how the Reynolds transport theorem applies to it.
💡 Hint: Consider energy conservation principles and flow characteristics.
