Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe of length 30 m and diameter 0.05 m has a flow velocity of 1.5 m/s. Calculate the friction loss given a friction factor of 0.03. How does this impact the total energy use?
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert all units properly before solving!
A looped pipe network distributes water to two branches. Given the head loss data at nodes, and initial flow rates, apply the Hardy Cross Method to re-calculate and adjust the flows until total losses are minimized.
💡 Hint: Track the flow at each node and ensure they sum to zero!
