Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a 30 mm pipe that enlarges to 90 mm. Calculate the head loss for a fluid exiting at 2 m/s. Assume clean conditions and derive K_L.

💡 Hint: Use the K_L formula to derive, then apply the head loss formula.

Question 2

A reservoir feeds a pipe entrance with a coefficient of 0.3. If the fluid velocity is 1.5 m/s, calculate the entrance loss.

💡 Hint: Use entrance loss calculation, considering velocity.
