Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a rectangular channel with a width of 5 m and a height of 2 m, find the hydraulic diameter when the channel is half full.
💡 Hint: Think about how the area changes when the channel is half full.
Question 2
A pipe with a diameter of 0.5 m has a length of 100 m. Calculate the major loss in energy when the flow rate is 0.1 m³/s, using Darcy-Weisbach equation.
💡 Hint: Remember to find the flow velocity using the area of the pipe first.
