Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario in a water treatment plant where raw water enters a filtration system at a rate of 0.2 m³/s with a velocity of 2 m/s and a pressure of 150 kPa. Calculate the outlet velocity if the outlet diameter is 0.15 m.
💡 Hint: Remember the area formula for a circle.
A fluid flows through a horizontal pipe that bends at a right angle. If the pressure before the bend is 120 kPa and the pipe has an inlet diameter of 0.1 m and outlet diameter of 0.05 m, find the pressure at the outlet.
💡 Hint: You may need to calculate velocities based on diameter changes.
