Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe has water flowing through it uniformly at a speed of 3 m/s. If the diameter of the pipe changes, how would that affect the major properties of flow?
💡 Hint: Apply the principles of continuity and Bernoulli's theorem to analyze.
In a 2D flow, the velocity components are given as u = 3y and v = -2x. Find the equation of the streamline that passes through the point (1,2).
💡 Hint: Set up your equations carefully, integrating one at a time!
