Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a pipe with a length of 500 meters, a diameter of 0.25 meters, and a friction factor of 0.03, compute the major head loss using the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
💡 Hint: Calculate velocity by continuity or given flow rate.
In a piping system with two bends and a valve, calculate the total head loss when bend losses are 1.5 m head loss each and the valve's loss coefficient indicates a 2 m loss.
💡 Hint: Add all losses together for the total head loss.
