Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A smooth pipe carries water with a given profile at different sections. If the max velocity at the center is 10 m/s, calculate the average velocity across various diameter sections.

💡 Hint: Set your bounds for integration according to the sections' locations.

Question 2

Two pipes, one rough and one smooth, both have the same flow rate, analyze the average velocity and discuss what implications this has for engineering designs.

💡 Hint: Look at the surface area impacts and friction factors.
