Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the total head loss in a two parallel pipe system where pipe A is 3 m long and has a 5 cm diameter with a friction factor of 0.02, and pipe B is 2 m long with a 3 cm diameter and the same friction factor.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to square the velocity when calculating for each.

Question 2

If two tanks are connected by parallel pipes, with one outlet having higher discharge in one pipe, how can you adjust to ensure a balanced flow at the junction?

💡 Hint: Incorporate flow control techniques to achieve balance.
