Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water pipeline of 1 km with a diameter of 150 mm has a friction factor of 0.02. Calculate the total head loss if there is a bend causing a minor loss coefficient of 0.5.

💡 Hint: Consider what values you will need for your calculations.

Question 2

Design a pipeline system to connect three reservoirs with height differences varying from 15-25 meters, assessing and minimizing head loss.

💡 Hint: Use design principles to optimize the flow efficiency considering both major and minor losses.
