Question 1.
Define laminar flow.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how layers of liquid might behave in a calm stream.
Question 2.
What is the hydraulic diameter?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how much flow area is in contact with the walls.
3Question 3.
What is laminar flow characterized by?
- Turbulent mixing
- Parallel layers of fluid
- Random movement
Show hintHide hint
Consider how water flows in a calm lake.
4Question 4.
True or False: The hydraulic diameter is only relevant for circular conduits.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember how we discussed its role in different shapes.
Question 5.
Design a drainage system that uses triangular conduits for rainwater. Determine the required dimensions of the conduit to ensure laminar flow.
Show hintHide hint
Consider flow rates and areas!
Question 6.
Given an isosceles triangle conduit with two equal sides of length 5 m and a base of 4 m, determine the hydraulic diameter and discuss how this impacts laminar flow.
