Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe system has a length of 150m, a diameter of 0.3m, and a fluid flowing at 3m/s. If the friction factor is 0.03, calculate the major loss.

💡 Hint: Ensure to apply the Darcy-Weisbach equation correctly.

Question 2

In a system, fluid enters a valve at 5m/s and exits at 2m/s. Calculate the head loss due to sudden expansion.

💡 Hint: Focus on the velocity difference squared.
