Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the total head loss in a 3000 m pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m and a friction factor of 0.03. How does the total head loss change if the friction factor increases to 0.05?

💡 Hint: Remember to use the correct formula.

Question 2

Design a system with three bends, a valve and a 2000 m long pipe. Each bend has a coefficient of 0.2, and the valve is 5.0. What is the effective head loss? What horsepower is necessary if the total head loss is 15 m?

💡 Hint: Calculate minor losses first!
