Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a city water distribution network, the total inflow into a junction is 100 L/s, with three outgoing pipes sharing the flow. If the flows are set to 50 L/s, 30 L/s, and 15 L/s, how would you adjust these flows using the Hardy Cross Method?

💡 Hint: Look for how adjustments affect the overall outflow.

Question 2

Given a pipe network with different diameters and lengths, calculate the head loss for a situation where the flow rates are known. How would the Hardy Cross Method change these calculations?

💡 Hint: Remember to focus on the relationship between Q and HL during your calculations.
