Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe with a diameter of 0.2 m has water flowing at a velocity of 3 m/s. If the flow is restricted by a valve with a K-factor of 0.2, calculate the head loss due to this restriction.
💡 Hint: Make sure to square the velocity and divide by two times the gravity.
Compare the energy loss between a gate valve and a globe valve with the same diameter with respective K factors of 0.1 and 0.15, given the flow conditions in a directly connected pipe.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the K factors correctly to find relative losses.
