Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a pipe network with specific diameters, lengths, and initial flows, calculate the final flow rates using the Hardy Cross Method, ensuring the continuity equation holds.

💡 Hint: Track how each round of corrections affects the overall flow.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a network where minor losses (e.g., fittings or bends) also play a role. How would you modify your calculations to account for these?

💡 Hint: Consider each fitting as an addition to the total resistance.
