Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a horizontal pipe with a diameter of 0.5m and a length of 100m. If the head loss is found to be 5m, what is the average velocity of the water flowing through the pipe?
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between velocity, head loss, and pipe dimensions.
In a parallel pipe system where one pipe has a diameter twice that of the other, how does the flow rate compare if the head loss is equal in both pipes?
💡 Hint: Think back to the principle of conservation of mass and balance equations.
