Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water system has multiple fittings leading to a total loss coefficient of 12. Calculate the energy losses in the pipe when the flow velocity is 3 m/s. Use the Darcy-Weisbach equation.

💡 Hint: Refer to the friction factor and combine it with your additional fittings.

Question 2

Calculate the required horsepower for a pump needed to move water from a supply tank 20 m deep through a system with a total head loss of 35 m. Include energy losses in your calculations.

💡 Hint: Review horsepower conversion and consider efficiency factors for a complete calculation.
