Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A vertical pipe system has a height difference of 10 meters between two reservoirs. Calculate the minimum flow velocity required if the friction factor is 0.03 over a distance of 300 meters.
💡 Hint: Start from energy loss principles.
In a parallel pipe system with a total flow of 100 liters per second, one pipe has a diameter of 0.1 m, while the other has 0.05 m. Calculate the velocity in each pipe, assuming equal head loss.
💡 Hint: Utilize continuity principles to establish relationships!
