Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

For a network with two loops and given discharges, determine and correct the flow rates to ensure all continuity equations are satisfied across the network. Iterate until convergence.

💡 Hint: Set up tables to simplify correction calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a complex network where the continuity equation does not appear to hold. Identify potential points of failure and propose corrections.

💡 Hint: Factor in all possible flow paths and losses in your evaluation.
