Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are given a pipe network with three junctions. One pipe experiences an inflow of 150 liters per second, with outflows of 50, 30, and 20 liters per second at the junctions. Apply the Hardy Cross Method iteratively to find the discharges. Assume the necessary variables.

💡 Hint: Make sure to verify each node’s inflow and outflow balance.

Challenge 2 Hard

A four-node system has an inflow of 200 liters/minute but the anticipated outflows are miscalculated. How do you correct the flow values while applying the Hardy Cross Method?

💡 Hint: Start with the assumption of values and refine them.
