Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
