Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe with a diameter of 0.3 m suddenly narrows to 0.15 m. If the flow velocity is 4 m/s, calculate the estimated head loss due to the contraction.

💡 Hint: Find $V_2$ using the equation of continuity before calculating head loss.

Question 2

Design a pipe installation under critical conditions: Choose appropriate fittings while minimizing minor losses. List your reasons.

💡 Hint: Consider flow dynamics and energy efficiency when discussing fitting choices.
