Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a complex piping system with multiple fittings and expansions, where the total head loss is 12 meters and known losses from fittings is 3 meters. Calculate the flow rate in the larger pipe if its diameter is 0.4 meters.

💡 Hint: Stay focused on balance between known and unknown parameters.

Question 2

A network's flow is distributed through 4 pipes with known diameters. The initial flow rates are distributed non-uniformly. How can the Hardy Cross Method be applied to adjust these rates for equilibrium?

💡 Hint: Focus on balancing head losses around the network loop.
