Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
