Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a pipe diameter of 0.5 m, with a roughness of ε=0.03 mm, and a flow rate of 10 m³/s, calculate the head loss across a length of 500 m. Discuss how variations in ε would affect your calculations.
💡 Hint: Focus first on velocity calculation to proceed further.
A drawn tubing has an internal diameter of 4 mm. If the air flowing at 20°C has a viscosity of 1.81x10^-5 N.s/m². Calculate the pressure drop for laminar and turbulent conditions given V = 2 m/s.
💡 Hint: Begin by determining if the flow condition is laminar or turbulent first.
