Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a specific weight of 10 kN/m³ experiences a head loss of 4 m in a pipe system with a uniform flow rate of 0.05 m³/s. Calculate the power loss. Then, suggest ways to reduce this loss in the future.

💡 Hint: Rethink the factors that influence head loss.

Question 2

If a pipe experiences a 20% increase in fluid viscosity due to temperature increase, evaluate how this impacts head loss in the system. Provide calculations for a hypothetical scenario.

💡 Hint: Focus on viscosity's effect on head and flow rate.
