3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is head loss?
Think about energy loss in terms of friction.
Name the types of losses in pipes.
Consider friction as a factor.
What is the primary cause of major head losses in pipes?
Think about the material properties.
True or False: Minor losses are only caused by bends in pipes.
Consider other interruptions in flow.
A water pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m runs 1500 m at a friction factor of 0.025. Calculate the head loss if the average velocity is 2 m/s.
Ensure each variable is properly substituted.
You have two reservoirs with a head difference of 45 m. A pipe connects them, and it includes a valve with a loss coefficient of 2. Calculate total head loss considering friction and the valve.
Keep your units consistent and check your loss equations.
