Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A water system uses a pipe of radius 0.025 m with a length of 10 m. Given a pressure difference of 500 Pa and a viscosity of 0.001 Pa·s, determine the flow rate through the pipe.
💡 Hint: You need to work out using the flow rate equation specific to pipe flow.
If a DIY project requires moving 100 liters of water through a pipe in a controlled laminar flow, how long will it take if the Reynolds number is maintained at 1500?
💡 Hint: Remember the concepts of flow rates and convert all units to meters and seconds.
