Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A sewage pipeline has a length of 1200 meters with a diameter of 0.4 meters. There are three sharp bends and two valves. Calculate the total head loss using an average friction factor of 0.025 and appropriate loss coefficients for the components.

💡 Hint: List all components and ensure to apply the correct formulas.

Question 2

In a town, a water distribution system experiences a head loss of 15 meters over a distance of 500 meters with various minor fittings. Evaluate how adjustments can be made to minimize these losses.

💡 Hint: What changes could make the pipework more efficient?
