Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a fluid flowing with a velocity of 2 m/s through a pipe with a minor loss coefficient of k=0.05, calculate the head loss assuming a smooth gradual contraction.
💡 Hint: Using the gravity constant will help you verify your answer.
Question 2
If the diameter of a pipe is reduced from 0.5 m to 0.25 m with a head loss of 5 m observed, derive how much energy was lost before and after the reduction.
💡 Hint: Consider flow continuity and how the diameter affects the velocity.
