Question 1
If a smooth plastic pipe has a length of 50 m and a diameter of 0.1 m, calculate the head loss due to friction when water flows at a velocity of 2 m/s. Assume a friction factor of 0.02.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert the units correctly and use g = 9.81 m/s².
Question 2
Compare the energy losses in a rough concrete pipe and a smooth steel pipe given the same flow conditions. Create a brief report on which pipe would be more efficient and why.
💡 Hint: Focus on the impact of surface roughness on flow behavior.
