Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe network has a total inflow of 120 L/s and outflows of 50 L/s and 30 L/s from two nodes. Calculate the initial discharge at the unknown node if the third outflow is not specified. Apply the Hardy Cross method to find values iteratively.
💡 Hint: Focus on balancing inflow and outflows with iterations to achieve desired flow distribution.
Given a network with known discharges and calculated head losses, if one loop has a sum of head loss of -2.5 meters while the corresponding HL/Q value is 0.05, calculate the correction factor and adjust accordingly.
💡 Hint: Keep an eye on how each value affects the overall network.
