Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A system has two pipes of diameters 0.10 m and 0.25 m connected at a large valve. If the flow rate is 0.2 m³/s, determine major and minor losses, focusing on how each affects energy.

💡 Hint: Use both major and minor loss equations in your calculations.

Question 2

Design a short pipe system connecting a reservoir to a pump, specifying the dimensions and materials needed based on calculated head losses.

💡 Hint: Factor in both theoretical losses and practical applications when designing the system.
