Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Evaluate the energy loss when water flows through a 100m long pipe with a diameter of 0.5m, including two bends. Assume major and minor loss coefficients.
💡 Hint: Break it into major losses and losses from bends to find total.
Compare the flow rates between a circular and triangular conduit of equivalent area. Discuss how the shape affects energy losses.
💡 Hint: Focus on how shape changes the flow path.
