Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water pipe with a diameter of 0.5 m has a roughness of 0.0002 m. If the flow velocity is 3 m/s, calculate the Reynolds number and assess whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.

💡 Hint: Identify parameters and apply the equation step-by-step.

Question 2

In a scenario where the pipe’s roughness is reduced from 0.1 m to 0.01 m, illustrate how this will affect both the friction factor and the overall head loss.

💡 Hint: Focus on calculating f and use the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
