Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 1 km pipe has a diameter of 0.5 m and a friction factor of 0.02. Calculate the flow rate if the head loss is set to 30 m.

💡 Hint: Relate head loss to the Darcy-Weisbach equation to find velocity first.

Question 2

In a system with two reservoirs separated by a distance of 500 m with various bends and fittings, calculate the total discharge, incorporating all major and minor losses.

💡 Hint: Ensure to keep track of all losses including entry and exit losses.
