Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A tank filled with water is connected to a pipe with varying diameters. If water is flowing out at a constant rate, apply the Reynolds transport theorem to explain how the properties change as the water flows through the narrowing pipe.
💡 Hint: Consider the principles of continuity and Bernoulli's equation.
In a river entering a valley (control volume), describe how you would apply the Reynolds transport theorem to analyze the change in the water's mass and velocity as it flows through different sections of the valley.
💡 Hint: Think about how water speeds up or slows down at different points in the valley.
