Question 1

What happens to the hydraulic gradient line when fluid exits a pipe?

  • It remains the same
  • It coincides with atmospheric pressure
  • It rises
  • It is irrelevant

💡 Hint: Think about the condition of the pressure head at the exit.

Question 2

True or False: Mechanical energy is completely converted into useful energy by turbines.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider energy losses due to operational inefficiencies.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid system with a known pressure drop is measured at two points. Apply Bernoulli’s Principle to find the change in velocity. Assume negligible losses.

💡 Hint: Ensure to isolate V2 in the equation, while swapping P1 and P2 appropriately.

Question 2

Design a pump-turbine system with specific efficiency goals. What aspects would you consider to minimize losses?

💡 Hint: Explore fluid characteristics and reduce turbulence.
