Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a specific water supply system, the friction factor is estimated at 0.03 with a Reynolds number of 10,000. Calculate the head loss over 500 meters using a 0.2m diameter pipe.

💡 Hint: Refer to the Darcy-Weisbach equation to find the necessary variables.

Question 2

Design a system for a small town requiring a specific flow rate. Consider head losses in different types of pipes (smooth vs. rough) and explain how your choices affect energy requirements.

💡 Hint: Think about how friction factors will change with different materials.
