Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple water distribution system for a small town of 500 households. Include size and pressure considerations for mains and services.
💡 Hint: Consider average daily water usage per household and how many households each pipe section serves.
A pipe has a diameter of 100 mm and flows with a velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the friction loss over a 200 m length using the Darcy-Weisbach equation (assuming a friction factor of 0.02).
💡 Hint: Remember the formula: h_f = f * (L/D) * (V^2 / (2*g)) where h_f is head loss.
