What is static head?
💡 Hint: Think about the height difference that affects pump performance.
True or False: Minor losses come solely from friction within the pipe.
💡 Hint: Consider other factors that might affect fluid flow.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a network of 3 interconnected pipes with differing diameters and lengths. Calculate the total head loss and the flow rate at each junction.
💡 Hint: Start by setting up the basic continuity equations first.
Assuming a pump consumes 5kW to maintain a required flow in a closed-loop network. Calculate the static head achievable if losses total 3 meters.
💡 Hint: Remember power is directly related to head loss in pumps.
