Question 1.
Define laminar flow.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how fluids behave in layers.
Question 2.
What happens to shear stress as flow transitions from laminar to turbulent?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how chaotic motion impacts resistance.
3Question 3.
What is the primary factor that causes increased shear stress in turbulent flow?
- Increased velocity
- Decreased viscosity
- Irregular flow
Show hintHide hint
Think about how turbulence affects fluid movement.
4Question 4.
True or False: The laminar flow has a higher shear stress than turbulent flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the comparative analysis of shear stresses.
Question 5.
A community water supply pipe is 0.2 m in diameter and carries water at a flow rate of 0.05 m³/s at 15 degrees Celsius. Calculate the Reynolds number and determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent.
Show hintHide hint
Ensure to use correct units throughout the calculation.
Question 6.
Design a pipe flow system where the friction losses must not exceed 5%. Given initial velocity and dimensions, what is the required diameter?
Show hintHide hint
Apply concepts of Darcy-Weisbach considering turbulent conditions.
