Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For a turbulent flow with a velocity profile described by u(r) = 10*(1 - (r/R))^(1/7), find the average velocity.
💡 Hint: Focus on integrating the velocity function you've been given.
A pipe with a rough surface has a different flow profile than a smooth one. Derive how one might approach calculating average velocity for both and discuss the implications for design.
💡 Hint: Relate to common engineering practices and friction considerations.
