Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
