Question 1.
What is hydraulic diameter?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we characterize non-circular conduits.
Question 2.
What does wall shear stress represent?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the interaction between the fluid and the surface.
3Question 3.
What is the hydrolic diameter formula?
- D_h = A/P
- D_h = 4(A/P)
- D_h = P/4A
Show hintHide hint
Recall how we calculate equivalent diameters.
4Question 4.
Wall shear stress varies in laminar flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how flow conditions affect stress distribution.
Question 5.
You are tasked to design a non-circular conduit for a city water supply. How would you approach the determination of hydraulic diameter and wall shear stress?
Show hintHide hint
Consider if the pipe will operate in laminar or turbulent conditions.
Question 6.
A flow in a triangular pipe exhibits a non-uniform velocity profile. Explain how you would determine the wall shear stress for this scenario.
Show hintHide hint
Relate back to the discussion on laminar vs turbulent flow.
