Question 1

In a pipe in series, the discharge is constant across all pipes. True or False?

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider the flow path through each pipe.

Question 2

What is the relationship between head loss and energy in a fluid system?

H_loss = total energy - potential energy
H_loss = potential energy - kinetic energy
H_loss = energy loss due to friction

💡 Hint: Think about energy dynamics in flow.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Determine the flow rate in a parallel pipe system with known diameters and friction factors, then equate losses to find out how much water flows into each pipe.

💡 Hint: Apply the Darcy-Weisbach equation to find total head losses.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a three reservoir junction scenario, calculate the flow rates considering input and output discharge rates.

💡 Hint: The sum of inflows must equal outflows.
