Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe's diameter is 15 cm. The velocity at 3 cm from the wall is found to be 50% greater than at 1 cm. Calculate the roughness coefficient k.
💡 Hint: Set up comparative equations and remember to account for flow interactions.
Another rough pipe has velocity readings of 10 m/s at 2 cm and 14 m/s at 5 cm from the wall. Derive the k value for engineering applications.
💡 Hint: Utilize percentage increases effectively in your final equations.
