Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A pipeline with a diameter of 0.5m is 4000m long with a friction factor of 0.02. Calculate the major head loss using the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
💡 Hint: Remember to compute area and velocity from discharge first.
Question 2
A valve in a pipeline causes a minor loss coefficient of K = 3. If the flow velocity is 3 m/s, calculate the minor head loss.
💡 Hint: You’ll need to know gravitational acceleration for this calculation.
