Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a siphon to transfer water 10 meters down from a reservoir. How would you ensure minimal head loss? Discuss considerations like diameter, length, and fluid dynamics.
💡 Hint: What design choices impact friction and flow rate?
A siphon is set at a height of 5m above the outlet. If the observed head loss was 1m, how much effective head remains for the siphon operation?
💡 Hint: How do you calculate remaining available pressure in fluid terms?
