Question 1

What formula is used to calculate head loss in sudden enlargement?

  • h_L = K_E * (V_1^2)/(2g)
  • h_L = K_L * (V_1^2)/(2g)
  • h_L = K_B * (V_1^2)/(2g)

💡 Hint: Recall the type of enlargement being discussed.

Question 2

True or False: The head loss coefficient K_exit is generally 0.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of what happens at a pipe exit.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water system has a sudden enlargement from 5 cm to 15 cm, and water flows at 4 m/s in the smaller pipe. Calculate the head loss using appropriate coefficients.

💡 Hint: Focus on proper area calculations.

Question 2

For a steady pipe system with a gradual expansion leading to reduced head losses, calculate the head loss if the initial velocity is 5 m/s and you have K_E = 0.8.

💡 Hint: Pay attention to velocity changes between points!
