Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using the variables pressure, pipe diameter, fluid velocity, and viscosity, apply dimensional analysis to deduce how they relate to a dimensionless group.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to leverage previous steps methodically as you develop the relationships.

Question 2

Given a set of variables that include the effects of surface tension on fluid flow, how would you modify your dimensional analysis to account for additional parameters?

💡 Hint: Revisit steps for identifying all significant variables thoroughly.
