Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A water pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m runs 1500 m at a friction factor of 0.025. Calculate the head loss if the average velocity is 2 m/s.

💡 Hint: Ensure each variable is properly substituted.

Challenge 2 Hard

You have two reservoirs with a head difference of 45 m. A pipe connects them, and it includes a valve with a loss coefficient of 2. Calculate total head loss considering friction and the valve.

💡 Hint: Keep your units consistent and check your loss equations.
