Question 1
A pipe has a diameter of 20 cm and suddenly enlarges to 40 cm. If water flows at 3 m/s in the smaller pipe, calculate the head loss due to sudden enlargement.
💡 Hint: Focus on calculating the area ratio properly.
Question 2
If a gradual enlargement from a smaller pipe to a larger pipe reduces head loss, what factors must a hydraulic engineer consider when designing such a transition?
💡 Hint: Think about maintaining flow efficiency and behavior.
