Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A network of pipes connects a reservoir to three different outlets, with varying pipe sizes and lengths. Use the Hardy Cross Method to calculate the flow rates at each outlet, considering friction and minor losses.

💡 Hint: Sketch diagrams and use the right equations for losses.

Question 2

An engineer faces a problem where a water pipeline splits at a junction. Calculate how the flow distributes among different branches, utilizing the Hardy Cross Method while factoring in specific losses at different pipe sections.

💡 Hint: Remember: Balancing flow is akin to solving two equations simultaneously.
