Question 1

What happens to the velocity profile in laminar flow as the gap between plates decreases?

  • Velocity increases
  • Velocity decreases
  • Velocity remains constant

💡 Hint: Think about how flow speeds up in constricted paths.

Question 2

True or False: Shear stress is dependent on the viscosity of the fluid.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the relationship between shear stress and viscosity.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the shear stress at the wall if the maximum velocity is 0.8 m/s and the viscosity is 0.01 Pa·s.

💡 Hint: Review the relationship between velocity and shear stress.

Question 2

In a laminar flow scenario, if the distance between plates is halved, what happens to the maximum velocity?

💡 Hint: Consider how the geometry affects flow and apply known equations.
