Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a turbulent flow in a pipe with a diameter of 12 cm, where the average discharge is 2 m³/s, calculate the approximate average velocity.
💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the cross-sectional area before finding velocity.
If a rough pipe exhibits a roughness height of 0.5 cm and shows increased turbulence, discuss how this impacts pressure loss.
💡 Hint: Consider how roughness alters the flow quality and resistance.
