Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a pipe with a diameter of 0.2 m and a length of 100 m, with a friction factor of 0.03, calculate the head loss if the velocity of water is 3 m/s.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert the units of gravity to match your velocity units.
Analyze a water distribution system where the main pipeline has varying roughness. Discuss how this affects energy efficiency and the design considerations that need to be addressed.
💡 Hint: Consider both the physical properties of materials and fluid dynamics.
