Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with designing a drainage system using a triangular duct with a base of 6 m and a height of 4 m. Calculate the hydraulic diameter and discuss any considerations for flow behavior in this geometry.

💡 Hint: Calculate the lengths carefully, and consider how the shape might affect your flow equations.

Question 2

In a civil engineering project, compare the flow characteristics of a standard circular pipe and a rectangular duct (4 m x 2 m) at the same flow rate. How would you analyze the differences using hydraulic diameter?

💡 Hint: Think about how the energy loss calculations would differ for each shape.
