Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A horizontal pipe of diameter D1 flows water at a steady rate. If you were to connect a parallel pipe of diameter D2 (D2
💡 Hint: Apply the principle of continuity correctly for both paths.
Question 2
Two parallel pipes have differing friction factors (f1 and f2). If both pipes have to maintain the same flow rate, calculate the head loss across each pipe using the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
💡 Hint: Consider how discrepancies in f affect the energy balance.
