Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A city water supply network has pipes with varying diameters and several valves. Using the Hardy Cross Method, calculate the new flow in the pipes after an increase in demand by 30%. Provide detailed steps.

💡 Hint: Maintain a systematic approach through calculations for constant convergence.

Question 2

You are tasked with designing a new pipeline that connects a reservoir and a treatment facility, considering different diameters at specific points. Calculate expected major and minor losses, then use the Hardy Cross Method to balance flow distribution.

💡 Hint: Pay attention to how each reduction or enlargement affects overall flow.
