Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A water system consists of three interconnected tanks. If tank A has a flow rate of 10 L/s, tank B has 15 L/s, and tank C is draining at 5 L/s, analyze whether the flow is balanced using mass conservation.
💡 Hint: Add and subtract the flow rates to determine balance.
You have a pipeline with a length of 150 m and a diameter of 0.15 m connecting two reservoirs with a height difference of 7 m. If the Darcy-Weisbach coefficient is 0.02, calculate the required flow velocity.
💡 Hint: Consider head losses caused by both friction and elevation difference.
