Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water supply system shows a pressure difference of 30 Pa over a 10 m length of pipe with a diameter of 0.5 m. Calculate the expected energy loss and identify if this suggests laminar or turbulent flow.

💡 Hint: Use the pressure and length given to compute the energy loss!

Question 2

Design a piping system in a home with multiple bends and valves. Estimate how minor losses will affect the overall efficiency and suggest improvements.

💡 Hint: Focus on how reductions in number of fittings could improve performance!
