Question 1

What is the main purpose of calculating head loss in a pump system?

  • A. To determine pump power requirements
  • B. To measure flow rate
  • C. To reduce system efficiency
  • D. No purpose

💡 Hint: Think about why head loss is relevant to pumping systems.

Question 2

True or False: Major losses in a pipe network are caused by fittings.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the definitions we discussed for both major and minor losses.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pump must lift water 20 meters at a flow rate of 15 L/s. Calculate the power required considering a head loss of 5 meters. Then analyze how varying the friction factor from 0.02 to 0.04 affects the power needed.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between head loss, flow rate, and pump power.

Question 2

In a network where two pipes (6cm and 12cm in diameter) are connected, water flows at a rate of 30 L/s. Determine the flow in each pipe and how much head loss occurs with a friction factor of 0.018 for the first pipe and 0.02 for the second. How would the flow rate change if the system experienced a sudden pressure drop?

💡 Hint: Use conservation of mass principles to determine how flow divides between the two pipes.
