Question 1
Design a piped system to transport water over a height of 50 m with varying diameter for efficiency. Calculate the horsepower required from the pump factoring in both major and minor losses.
💡 Hint: Consider using flow rates and velocities in your solution.
Question 2
Explore the effects of increasing pipe roughness on the total energy loss in a pumping system. Formulate a hypothesis about how loss coefficients might adjust based on material changes.
💡 Hint: Use Moody's chart to support your hypothesis.
