Question 1.
What are major losses in fluid systems?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what affects the flow through pipes.
Question 2.
Define minor losses.
Show hintHide hint
Consider components that disrupt flow.
3Question 3.
What defines major losses in piping systems?
- Friction in the pipe
- Fittings and bends
- Elevation changes
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens as fluid moves through a straight pipe.
4Question 4.
Is the Reynolds number more than 4000 indicative of laminar flow?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the thresholds for flow types.
Question 5.
Given a specific water supply system, calculate the major and minor losses. Assume flow rates and identify the components contributing to losses.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to consider all points of entry and exit for the water flow.
Question 6.
How would the energy loss in a piping system change if we increase the pipe diameter vs. if we increase turbulence?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how wider paths decrease obstacles for moving fluids.
