Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 50-meter-long pipe with a diameter of 0.2 m has a wall shear stress of 0.02 Pa. Calculate the pressure drop per unit length.

💡 Hint: Use the formula derived for pressure drop.

Question 2

Illustrate how the transition from laminar to turbulent flow affects pressure drop if the diameter of the pipe is halved while the viscosity remains constant.

💡 Hint: Relate the concept of area to flow resistance.
