Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given two parallel pipes, one with a length of 150 m and a diameter of 0.1 m, and another with a length of 200 m and a diameter of 0.15 m, estimate the flow in each if the total flow is 25 L/s and the friction factors are 0.02 and 0.015 respectively.

💡 Hint: Remember to account for the friction factors in your equations!

Question 2

You have a system of three parallel pipes with different diameters and lengths. If the total discharge is known, outline the steps to find the flow in each pipeline.

💡 Hint: Iterate using the Hardy Cross Method if needed for complex arrangements.
