Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pump needs to lift water 30m against a static head. With a flow rate of 0.05 m³/s and total losses of 5.5m, estimate the power required.
💡 Hint: Break the calculations down for clarity.
Given a pipe of diameter 10cm, find the velocity if it's discharging 0.01 m³/s. Then calculate the major loss across 100m of this pipe with a friction factor of 0.02.
💡 Hint: Calculate area and velocity first, then apply equations accordingly.
