Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a pipe of diameter 0.25 m, if the combined K value of fittings is 1.5 and the friction factor is 0.02, calculate the equivalent length for a 100 m long pipeline. Present your calculations and final result.

💡 Hint: Use the formula methodically for clarity.

Question 2

A pipeline has minor loss components adding up to a K of 4, with a diameter of 0.15 m and a friction factor of 0.01. How would this affect a 50 m pipe length in terms of equivalent pipe length?

💡 Hint: Analytically apply the parameters in the context of the system.
