Question 1

What happens when a valve is partially closed?

  • Flow increases
  • Flow remains the same
  • Flow decreases

💡 Hint: Think about how closing a tap reduces water flow.

Question 2

True or False: Energy loss is constant in laminar flow.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how smooth vs. rough surfaces affect flow.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid flows through a pipe with a sudden diameter reduction. Calculate the expected increase in velocity and energy loss using Bernoulli’s principle and illustrate with a sketch.

💡 Hint: Remember to take into account the initial and final pressures.

Question 2

If a system incorporates both a globe valve and a gate valve, how would you calculate the total energy losses and flow rates? Provide a comprehensive analysis.

💡 Hint: Use the K values associated with each valve type for accurate calculations.
