Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cylindrical column of honey is under shear flow. If the viscosity of honey is known, calculate the shear stress experienced at a given height under steady-state conditions.
💡 Hint: Consider how the viscosity of honey differs from water.
In an experiment, water flows through a rectangular channel. Determine the effect of increasing the channel width on the extensional strain observed in the flow.
💡 Hint: Think about how the shape of the channel affects flow rate.
