Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a pipeline that runs 1000 meters with a diameter of 0.2 meter. It's carrying fluid at 3 m/s, with a friction factor of 0.01. Determine the major head loss and its impact on the pressure at the end of the pipeline.

💡 Hint: Be careful to convert the units properly!

Question 2

In a system where the entrance loss coefficient is 0.5, exit loss is negligible, and we've established major head loss is 10m. What total head loss needs compensating to maintain a discharge rate of 20L/s?

💡 Hint: Involve Bernoulli's equation to see discharge relationships!
