Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water system uses pipes in series with various diameters and lengths. Given that the first pipe has a head loss of 2.5m and the second pipe has a head loss of 3.5 m, determine the flow efficiency of the system considering minor losses are negligible.

💡 Hint: Utilize energy conservation principles for your calculations.

Question 2

In a parallel pipe system, if the energy losses in Pipe A are 1.2m and Pipe B has 0.8m, how would the surge pressure be affected if the diameter of Pipe B is increased?

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between diameter and velocity when computing your answer.
