Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a pipe network where three nodes are interconnected. Node A has a 50 L/s inflow, while Node B has 20 L/s outflow, and Node C has a 30 L/s outflow. Calculate the flow rates into and out of Node A using continuity principles.
💡 Hint: Remember the inflow and outflows must balance out.
Given a network where the head loss calculated for one of the pipes is 5 meters with a discharge of 60 L/s, how would you adjust for head losses in other pipes using the Hardy Cross Method?
💡 Hint: Always recheck your head loss values before adjusting.
