Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a pipe network where inflow and outflow data are skewed, such that inflows exceed outflows. Explain how you would handle the discrepancies to apply the Hardy Cross Method.

💡 Hint: Consider additional flow scenarios that can redistribute water among different paths.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a network of two loops with varying diameters and lengths, create a comprehensive flow table that satisfies all conditions of flow continuity and correctly computes head losses.

💡 Hint: You can dynamically adjust the flow variables and track the corrections alongside head loss calculations.
