Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is static head?

  • The height difference the pump overcomes
  • Velocity of the fluid
  • Pressure at any point in the system

💡 Hint: Think about the height difference that affects pump performance.

Question 2

True or False: Minor losses come solely from friction within the pipe.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider other factors that might affect fluid flow.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
