Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a pipe with a diameter of 0.1 m, a roughness height of 0.001 m, and a fluid flowing at a velocity of 2 m/s, calculate the head loss using the Darcy-Weisbach equation.

💡 Hint: You will need to know the total length of the pipe and the specific gravity of the fluid.

Question 2

Analyze how increasing roughness in pipes impacts flow speed and energy loss at high Reynolds numbers.

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between turbulence, friction factor, and flow speed.
