Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the discharge for a fluid flowing at a velocity of 2 m/s through a 10 cm diameter pipe, and determine if the flow is laminar.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert diameter to meters!
For a fluid with density 1000 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity 0.001 Pa.s, determine flow types and characteristics if the average velocity is 3 m/s and diameter is 0.1 m.
💡 Hint: Focus on viscosity and its role in determining flow type.
