Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cylindrical pipe of length 20 m and diameter 0.1 m has a pressure drop of 500 Pa. Calculate the flow rate if the viscosity of the fluid is 0.001 Pa.s.
💡 Hint: Remember to correctly apply the formula and double-check unit conversions.
Explain how varying fluid viscosity would affect flow rates in real-life piping systems.
💡 Hint: Think about how different fluids behave in your daily experiences, like water versus honey.
