Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe with a diameter of 0.5 m and a length of 100 m has a friction factor of 0.01. Determine the major head loss when the flow velocity is 5 m/s.

💡 Hint: Include gravitational acceleration in your calculations.

Question 2

What is the cumulative head loss in a system with three bends, each having a K-value of 0.3, and a flow velocity of 4 m/s?

💡 Hint: Don't forget to use consistent units throughout your calculations.
