Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a Reynolds number of 2900 for a pipe with a relative roughness of 0.02, calculate the friction factor using Moody's Charts. Explain each step.

💡 Hint: Remember to interpolate if the exact value isn’t directly on the chart.

Question 2

Design a simplified water distribution system where two connections lead into a common pipe. Calculate energy losses due to both major friction losses in the pipe and minor losses from the two connections.

💡 Hint: Establish flow continuity and conservation of energy principles in your calculations.
