Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A water system comprises a 3000 m long pipe with a diameter of 0.25 m. If the friction factor is 0.03 and several valves introduce additional losses amounting to 8 m, calculate the total head loss.
💡 Hint: Ensure to determine V using the appropriate formula or given values.
How much power is required to pump water 40 m high through a pipe where major losses are 12.5 m and minor losses are 3.5 m? Assume 70% pump efficiency.
💡 Hint: Convert flow to weight properly for calculations.
