Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe system has two sections in series with head losses of 10m and 5m. If the total energy available is 20m, calculate the velocity of the fluid if the pipe diameter is 0.2m.

💡 Hint: Use this head to find out how much fluid flows through the pipe.

Question 2

In a three-reservoir junction, the head at points A, B, and C are 12m, 8m, and 6m respectively. If we know resistance in each pipe, find flow direction considering energy loss.

💡 Hint: The total discharge has to account for energy losses at different points.
