Question 1

What does the power law profile fail to predict at the center of a pipe?

  • Zero velocity
  • Zero slope
  • Maximum velocity

💡 Hint: Think about what happens mathematically at that point.

Question 2

True or False: The difference in velocity profile remains the same for both smooth and rough pipes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the discussion about smooth and rough surfaces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Derive the average velocity for a turbulent flow profile given by u(r) = 2 * u_max * (1 - (r/R)^2). Discuss any changes from the power law derived result.

💡 Hint: Set proper limits for r during the integration process.

Question 2

Discuss the design considerations needed when dealing with turbulent flows in pipes with varying smoothness.

💡 Hint: Think beyond just velocity; consider entire flow behavior.
