Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A prism with a diameter of 10 cm is filled with water at a temperature of 20°C. If the average velocity of the water is 1 m/s, determine whether the flow is laminar, turbulent, or transitional. The kinematic viscosity of water at this temperature is 1.003 x 10^-6 m²/s.

💡 Hint: Consider how you would set up the Reynolds number calculation.

Question 2

Design an experiment to transition a fluid from laminar to turbulent flow. Outline the parameters you would manipulate.

💡 Hint: Think about both the physical characteristics of flow and external factors influencing it.
