Question 1

What is the primary difference between smooth and rough pipe flows?

  • They operate at different temperatures
  • Only rough pipes experience turbulence
  • Roughness affects flow characteristics

💡 Hint: Think about how texture can change friction.

Question 2

In the equation \(\frac{u - V_{avg}}{u_*} = 5.75 \log_{10}\left(\frac{y}{R}\right) + 3.75\), what do the variables represent?

💡 Hint: Consider the meanings of each variable.
