Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a rural water supply where an open channel feeds into a storage tank. If the water surface fluctuates due to rain, how would this affect the hydraulic gradient line and energy available for pumping?

💡 Hint: Think about how the water level supports or resists flow.

Question 2

Calculate the pressure change at the outlet when a pump increases the flow in a water system by 20% while facing frictional losses amounting to 5 kPa.

💡 Hint: Focus on comparing input and losses to find net changes.
