Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the pressure drop is given as -1500 N/m² over a section 3 m long with viscosity 0.01 poise, calculate the maximum velocity.

💡 Hint: Remember to first express dp/dx with the given length.

Question 2

Given varying viscosities and thicknesses, how would you set up a flow experiment to derive the velocity profile?

💡 Hint: Focus on maintaining laminar conditions by controlling velocity and viscosity.
