Question 1

What is the primary purpose of the Continuity Equation?

  • To define energy loss in fluid systems
  • To ensure mass conservation in fluid flow
  • To calculate velocity defects

💡 Hint: Think about the core principle of mass in a flowing system.

Question 2

True or False: Minor losses are caused solely by the friction in the pipe.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider where energy might be lost aside from just the length of the pipe.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water flow through two parallel pipes, one with diameter 0.5m and the other 0.25m experiences a head loss of 5m in both. Calculate the flow rate through both if the friction factor is 0.01.

💡 Hint: Use your derived formulas from energy losses!

Question 2

A piping system in series has an energy loss of 10m total, with three pipes of varying diameters and lengths. How do you distribute the losses based on diameter?

💡 Hint: Keep in mind how loss scales with diameter change!
