Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate the total energy needed to pump water through a 2000 m pipe with given head losses and friction factors to overcome all resistances.

💡 Hint: Start by determining total head losses and then apply the power formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a pumping system considering varying friction factors for different pipe materials and calculate how much power would be adjusted accordingly.

💡 Hint: Use the table values as a base for comparison.
