Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 15 cm diameter rough pipe has a height of roughness determined experimentally as 0.2 cm. If the velocity at a point at 5 cm from the wall is measured, how would you find the average velocity in the pipe?
💡 Hint: Start by determining the effective distances and using given measurements in the formulas.
For a certain pipe, the Reynolds number indicates turbulent flow, how would various pipe surface roughness levels affect flow rate calculations?
💡 Hint: Reflect on how theoretical logs change with experimental values when setting up your equations.
