1. 1.

   What is the Darcy-Weisbach equation used for?

   Hint

   Think about what happens to energy as fluid flows through a pipe.

2. 2.

   Define Reynolds number.

   Hint

   What factors influence flow type?

3. 3.

   What does the Darcy-Weisbach equation calculate?

   • Velocity
   • Head Loss
   • Pressure Drop

   Hint

   Focus on energy loss concepts related to fluid dynamics.

4. 4.

   Is the friction factor always constant in a given pipe?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how flow changes affect drag.

5. 5.

   A pipeline transports water at a velocity of 2 m/s through a 200 m long pipe. If the friction factor is 0.02, what is the head loss?

   Hint

   Use the Darcy-Weisbach equation and substitute the values.

6. 6.

   Design a piping system to minimize minor losses in a short horizontal run. Discuss materials and layout.

   Hint

   Reflect on what you learned about minor losses and their coefficients.
