Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
An open channel has a hydraulic gradient of 0.1 m/km. If the flow is 1 m/s, calculate the energy gradient line given the velocity head.
💡 Hint: Combine both energy factors, so think about Bernoulli's Equation.
A pipeline increases its diameter suddenly. Discuss how this would affect the energy conservation and apply Bernoulli's principle to illustrate.
💡 Hint: Focus on mass conservation and energy continuity.
