Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a complex 4-node pipe network and use the Hardy Cross Method to find unknown flow rates while ensuring the continuity equation is satisfied.

💡 Hint: Draw the network properly and label all known variables before starting.

Challenge 2 Hard

Present a scenario where minor losses in pipes cannot be neglected and calculate how they would affect the head loss in the network.

💡 Hint: Use the complete Darcy-Weisbach equation integrating minor loss coefficients.
