Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A complex pipe network has 300 L/s inflow, with nodes having various inflows and outflows. Calculate the flow rates and verify the continuity by adjusting flow values iteratively through the Hardy Cross Method. Show their interdependencies.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to how changes in one flow rate affect the overall system.
In an irrigation system modeled using the Hardy Cross Method, flow through two pivotal nodes must be carefully balanced. If Node A has inflow of 150 L/s and two outflows of 70 L/s and 30 L/s, identify necessary adjustments to meet inflow continuity across a loop connection.
💡 Hint: Utilize your knowledge on inflow-outflow relationships to address discrepancies in flow.
