Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipeline with a diameter of 0.05m shows a pressure drop of 15kPa over 100m at a flow rate of 20L/s. Calculate the friction factor and determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Start with calculating the velocity first and don't forget to check the flow regime.
Design a pipeline system for water that minimizes friction losses while transporting over a distance of 150m. Which factors should you consider in your design?
💡 Hint: Think about how changing these parameters influences the friction factor.
