Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipeline of 500 m length and 0.75 m diameter is used to transport water. Calculate the head loss if the friction factor is 0.03 and the flow velocity is 2 m/s.

💡 Hint: Break down the problem by calculating each term carefully in the equation.

Question 2

You have a total head loss requirement of 25 m for a pipe system with several branches and valves. Calculate the required flow velocity if the friction factor is 0.025 and the pipe length is 400 m.

💡 Hint: Ensure all units are consistent while reworking the equation.
