Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What are major losses in pipe flow?

💡 Hint: Think about friction and movement within the pipe.

Question 2

Easy

What do we refer to as minor losses?

💡 Hint: Consider parts of the pipe where the flow might change direction.

Question 1

What primarily causes major losses in pipe flow?

  • Friction
  • Bends
  • Valves

💡 Hint: Think about what happens inside a smooth surface when a fluid moves.

Question 2

True or False: K-values are related to the losses from fittings and changes in flow direction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about sections of the pipe where the flow changes suddenly.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An industrial pipe system has a total length of 500 meters and a diameter of 0.3 meters. If the friction factor is determined to be 0.02 and the fluid's velocity is 3 m/s, calculate the major energy losses in the system.

💡 Hint: Make sure to convert all your units to SI before plugging into the formula.

Question 2

For a water distribution system with multiple branches, if the K-value for a 90-degree bend is 0.75, calculate the minor losses if the velocity in the pipe is 2 m/s.

💡 Hint: Ensure the g value is in meters per second squared for consistency.
