Given a turbulent flow through a circular pipe with a roughness of 0.046 mm, calculate the friction factor using Moody's Diagram when the Reynolds number is 100,000.
💡 Hint: Make sure to find the right curve that matches both the Reynolds number and relative roughness.
Design a water distribution system with two valves and two pipe diameters. Calculate the expected energy loss using the appropriate formulas and evaluate how different flows affect pressure.
💡 Hint: Consider how to utilize the head loss equation: h_loss = k * (v^2 / (2g)).
