Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For a circular pipe with a diameter of 1.2 m and water flowing at a depth of 0.50 m, with a slope of 1 in 800, derive an equation predicting discharge. Show your calculations.
💡 Hint: Break the problem down into calculating area and wetted perimeter first.
Consider two different circular pipes, one with a higher slope than the other. Explain qualitatively how the discharge would differ and what other factors might influence this.
💡 Hint: Think about how gravity works in terms of flow.
