Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What characterizes laminar flow?

  • High turbulence
  • Parallel layers
  • Random motion

💡 Hint: Visualize how a well-behaved stream of fluid would flow.

Question 2

Is the Reynolds number more than 2000 indicative of laminar flow?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the categorization of flow types based on the Reynolds number.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with viscosity 1.5 Pascal seconds flows through a rectangular channel 0.5 meters wide and 0.75 meters high at an average velocity of 0.4 meters per second. Calculate the pressure drop over 5 meters assuming laminar flow.

💡 Hint: Start by determining the area and apply Poiseuille's law.

Question 2

Design an experiment to measure the effect of pipe diameter on the Reynolds number of a given fluid, including a set of expected outcomes and calculations.

💡 Hint: Consider how reducing the diameter affects the flow velocity and what that means for laminar vs turbulent flow.
