Question 1.
Define boundary layer thickness.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the flow behavior at a solid boundary.
Question 2.
What is wall shear stress?
Show hintHide hint
Consider forces acting on the surfaces in contact with the fluid.
3Question 3.
What is the relationship between momentum thickness and boundary layer?
- Momentum thickness measures thickness
- Momentum thickness represents momentum loss
- They are unrelated
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definitions discussed.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Reynolds number helps only in turbulent flow assessment.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider its role in flow classification.
Question 5.
Given water with a viscosity of 0.001 N s/m² flowing at 200 mm/s over a flat plate, calculate boundary layer thickness and discuss whether flow is laminar or turbulent.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on determining Re then apply your equations accordingly.
Question 6.
For a pipe flow with a known diameter and flow rate, express the shear stress and relate it to the drag force experienced by the fluid along the diameter.
Show hintHide hint
