Question 1

What does a higher roughness in pipes typically cause?

  • A decrease in energy loss
  • An increase in energy loss
  • No change in energy loss

💡 Hint: Think about the impact of surface texture.

Question 2

True or False: The Reynolds number is a measure of flow efficiency.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a pipe with a diameter of 0.1m and a roughness height of 0.0002m, calculate whether the flow would be considered laminar or turbulent at a velocity of 2m/s. Show all calculations.

💡 Hint: Make sure to use consistent units.

Question 2

Research and compare the friction factors for three different pipe materials: PVC, concrete, and steel. Discuss how this affects energy loss in practical applications.

💡 Hint: Reflect on applications in plumbing versus heavy industry.
