Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a piping system that includes a gate valve and a globe valve. Describe the ideal application for each and how energy loss would be minimized in the overall system.

💡 Hint: Consider the specific fluid dynamics and application for each type of valve.

Question 2

Using Bernoulli's Equation, calculate the pressure loss when a fluid travels through a system with a partially opened gate valve. Assume given velocities and diameters for the initial calculations.

💡 Hint: Identify initial and final conditions to set up Bernoulli’s equation accurately.
