Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
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.
