Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe system transitions from a diameter of 0.2m to 0.5m quickly. Calculate the head loss if the flow velocity at the inlet is 4 m/s. Assume g = 9.81 m/s².

💡 Hint: Use the ratios to calculate KL and apply correctly.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of head losses in real-world applications, particularly in municipal water systems.

💡 Hint: Think about what municipalities can do with smarter pipe designs.
