Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe system is designed to pump water from one tank to another, requiring a total head loss of 15 meters. Given a pipe length of 500 meters and diameter of 0.1 meters, calculate the necessary friction factor assuming a flow velocity of 2 m/s.

💡 Hint: Headers can be adjusted for head loss knowing the length.

Question 2

Design a pipe system that balances major and minor losses for efficient water transport between two points with significant elevation changes.

💡 Hint: Use losses coefficients to assess overall efficiency.
