Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe has a diameter of 0.2 m, a length of 250 m, and flows with a velocity of 4 m/s. Calculate the head loss using a friction factor of 0.015. Show your calculations.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to use g = 9.81 m/s² in your calculation.

Question 2

Discuss how increasing the roughness of a pipe affects energy losses and the Reynolds number. Provide examples.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between friction factors and flow regimes.
