Question 1
What does the kinetic energy correction factor (α) account for?
- Ideal flow conditions
- Non-uniform velocity distributions
- Incompressible flow
💡 Hint: Consider why average velocity might not suffice.
Question 2
True or False: The kinetic energy correction factor is constant across all types of fluid flow.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about the characteristics of both flow types.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a simple hydraulic system. Calculate required pump horsepower, incorporating α for both laminar and turbulent flow scenarios.
💡 Hint: Start with kinetic energy equations, then convert it to horsepower based on flow rates.
Question 2
If you measured a flow with an α of 1.1 and found it was below standard energy outputs, how would you adjust the design to compensate?
💡 Hint: Use empirical pressure loss formulas to guide adjustments based on real vs. ideal scenarios.
