Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a liquid has a viscosity of 1.2 poise, flows through a pipe of diameter 0.05 m, and the length is 3 m with a flow rate of 0.01 m³/s, calculate the pressure drop.
💡 Hint: Consider the required units and relationships between variables.
Determine the average velocity and pressure gradient in a flow between two parallel plates with viscosity 0.8 poise, thickness 0.1 m, and u_max of 1.5 m/s.
💡 Hint: Make sure to use the correct flow boundary conditions.
