Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a pipeline system with 3 valves, including one globe valve. Calculate the total expected head loss due to these valves if each has a K factor of 0.3 and the total flow rate is 20 L/s.

💡 Hint: Keep in mind the relationship between flow rate and velocity.

Question 2

If a globe valve causes a significant pressure drop in a system, what redesign strategies would you suggest to minimize losses while ensuring flow control?

💡 Hint: Think about effective fluid dynamics that allow smoother transitions.
