Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a pipe radius of R = 0.5 m, find the maximum and average velocity if the profile defined is $u(r) = u_{max}(1 - \frac{r}{R})^{\frac{1}{7}}$ with $u_{max} = 10 m/s.$

💡 Hint: Break it down by simplifying the integration process and referencing the derived formulas.

Question 2

Explain why the wall shear stress cannot be calculated using the power law velocity profile at the boundary, and provide a mathematical basis for your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Investigate the implications of derivatives as you approach the pipe's wall in calculations.
