Question 1

What characterizes laminar flow?

  • Chaotic fluid movement
  • Smooth and orderly flow
  • Mixed flow

💡 Hint: Consider how the layers of fluid interact.

Question 2

True or False: Turbulent flow can be described as having a stable and consistent velocity profile.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about whether the flow remains steady or changes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a viscosity of 0.002 Pa·s and a density of 850 kg/m³ flows through a circular pipe of diameter 0.1 m at a velocity of 3 m/s. Is the flow laminar, turbulent, or transitional? Calculate the Reynolds number.

💡 Hint: Remember to use the Reynolds number equation.

Question 2

A water flow at 15°C has a viscosity of 0.00114 Pa·s. Calculate the minimum diameter of a pipe (in meters) that will ensure laminar flow at a velocity of 1 m/s with a maximum Reynolds number of 2100.

💡 Hint: Use properties of water and remember the limits for laminar flow.
