Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a complex network with a series of node discharges (100 L/s inflow, specific outflows for A, B, and C nodes), validate the continuity equation and apply the Hardy Cross Method to find unknown discharge values.
💡 Hint: Start by ensuring all inflows and outflows are balanced!
Consider a 1 km long pipe with sections of varying diameters. Calculate the resultant head loss if transitions occur at specific points, using the appropriate friction factors. Validate findings with the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
💡 Hint: Break down the pipe sections; handle one at a time for clarity.
