Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid with a diameter of 0.1 m and a kinematic viscosity of 0.00089 m²/s flows with a velocity of 0.2 m/s. Determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Apply the formula for Reynolds number using given values.
In a pipe of diameter 0.5 m, the average velocity of water is 3 m/s. Calculate the Reynolds number, given that the viscosity of water is 0.001 Pa·s.
💡 Hint: Plug in the values into the Reynolds equation.
