Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a fluid flowing in a channel where the velocity is uniform at 12 m/s. If the cross-sectional area of the channel at one point is 2 m², calculate the flow rate. Now, determine the flow rate if the velocity decreases to 8 m/s at the same cross-section.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for flow rate.
Explain how the no-slip condition affects the design of a penstock in a hydroelectric dam. What design elements would you consider to account for non-uniform flow?
💡 Hint: Think about how friction may alter the expected flow rates.
