Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a shear stress of 200 N/m² and density of 800 kg/m³ flows through a pipe. Determine u*, the friction velocity, and classify if the boundary is smooth or rough if k is given as 5 mm.

💡 Hint: Ensure to check the kinematic viscosity beforehand.

Question 2

In a turbulent flow within a circular pipe, if the radius is halved, how does this affect τ and u_max assuming constant flow rate?

💡 Hint: Consider conservation of flow equation and continuity as you derive.
