Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 1500m long pipeline has a diameter of 0.6m. The roughness of the pipe is ε = 0.4mm. If the flow velocity is 1.5 m/s, calculate the estimated head loss using the appropriate formulas for major losses.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert units to be consistent!

Question 2

An engineer wants to improve flow in a short, 100m pipe with many bends. Assuming minor losses are non-negligible, how would you account for them in your design?

💡 Hint: Use kl values based on fittings and configurations you have—each has a different impact!
