Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a dynamic viscosity of 0.001 Pascal seconds flows through a pipe. If the average velocity is 3 m/s and the distance from the wall is 0.1 m, compute the approximate turbulent shear stress if the mixing length is estimated at 0.4y.

💡 Hint: You'll need to establish the gradient from the known velocity and distance.

Question 2

Design a study method to determine how changes in turbulence affect shear stress in an engineered hydraulic system. Explain the steps involved.

💡 Hint: Think about variables that can be controlled in your design.
