Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water supply pipe of 200m length has a diameter of 0.1m. Calculate the head loss if the friction factor is 0.03 and the velocity is 3 m/s. Assume g = 9.81m/s².

💡 Hint: Don't forget to substitute the values correctly.

Question 2

Explain how increasing the roughness of a pipe could drastically change the friction factor and impact design decisions.

💡 Hint: What happens to flow resistance with increased roughness?
