Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe has an inflow of 20 L/s and an outflow of 15 L/s. How would you calculate the change in water storage in the pipe over a time interval of 10 seconds?
💡 Hint: Remember to consider both inflows and outflows.
In a system where water is pumped into a tank at 5 L/min and has an overflow outlet at 3 L/min, how long will it take to fill the tank from empty to a volume of 100 L?
💡 Hint: Keep track of the net flow in relation to the total volume.
