Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 100m long pipe with a roughness of 0.02mm carries water. After refurbishment, its roughness is reduced to 0.005mm. Calculate the change in head loss if the flow rate is constant.
💡 Hint: Consider both friction factors based on the new roughness.
For a 2m diameter pipe, if the flow is turbulent with Re around 100,000, how would adjusting the diameter affect the pressure drop?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the relationship between D, V, and Re.
