Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a 1200 m long pipe with a diameter of 0.25 m and a friction factor of 0.02, what is the head loss if the total head loss is given as 15 m?

💡 Hint: First, calculate the expected head loss due to friction.

Question 2

Analyze the impact on flow rate if the elevation difference between two reservoirs is increased to 50 m, keeping all other conditions constant.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between height and pressure in Bernoulli's equation.
