Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a piping system where you must account for a high roughness ratio and calculate the required pump power based on given flow rates and head heights.
💡 Hint: Focus on each segment of the system step by step.
If a system has a total length of pipe at 1,000 m with a diameter of 0.15 m, and the friction factor is determined to be 0.02, calculate the total head loss if the flow velocity is 3 m/s.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert the fluid properties correctly when needed.
