Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A network consists of three pipes with K-values of 0.5, 1.0, and 0.8. The initial flow rates through them are 2 m³/s, 3 m³/s, and 1 m³/s respectively. Discuss how you would approach the iterations needed to balance the head loss across these pipes.

💡 Hint: Think about how each flow rate affects the overall energy in the system.

Question 2

If in a system the calculated head loss dropped from 0.05 m to 0.015 m after an iteration, what further steps would you consider to achieve a stable flow?

💡 Hint: Identify the significance of maintaining flow rates and head loss targets.
