Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a specific water supply system, calculate the major and minor losses. Assume flow rates and identify the components contributing to losses.
💡 Hint: Remember to consider all points of entry and exit for the water flow.
How would the energy loss in a piping system change if we increase the pipe diameter vs. if we increase turbulence?
💡 Hint: Think about how wider paths decrease obstacles for moving fluids.
