Question 1

What is the formula for calculating head loss due to sudden enlargement?

  • \\( h_L = K_L \\frac{V_2^2}{2g} \\)
  • \\( h_L = K_L \\frac{V_1^2}{2g} \\)
  • \\( h_L = K_L \\frac{A_1}{A_2} \\)

💡 Hint: Think about which section is experiencing the change.

Question 2

True or False: K_L always equals 1 for sudden enlargement.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how area affects flow.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipeline has an entrance with an area of 0.2 m² and exits to a larger area of 1.0 m². If the flow velocity in the entrance is 8 m/s, calculate the head loss due to sudden enlargement.

💡 Hint: Ensure you account for gravity!

Question 2

Determine the practical applications of gradual enlargement in piping systems, explaining how it minimizes energy loss.

💡 Hint: Think of environments where energy efficiency is critical.
