Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A pipe network is designed with varying diameters and lengths. Given a total inflow of 150 liters per second and known outflows, apply the Hardy Cross Method to determine the discharge for each section of the network.

💡 Hint: List out all given values and carefully apply the head loss equation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a complex pipe network with three junctions and multiple loops. If the head loss between junctions exceeds 5 meters, what corrective actions should be taken using the Hardy Cross Method?

💡 Hint: Consider the effect of flow changes at each junction on the overall system.
