Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a system where oil of viscosity 0.5 Pas flows through a circular pipe of diameter 0.2 m. If the pressure difference measured across 10 m is 500 Pa, calculate the average velocity.
💡 Hint: Break down the formula and substitute the known values.
A fluid flows between two parallel plates. The distance between plates is 0.05 m, and the viscosity is 0.1 Pas. If the maximum speed is measured at 2 m/s, find the discharge per unit width.
💡 Hint: Focus on how to rearrange the equation for discharge.
