Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a pipe network with a specified inflow of 200 L/s and three nodes with different outflows given. Use the Hardy Cross Method to find the distribution of flow. Assume the head loss coefficients are known.

💡 Hint: Make sure to calculate head loss for each assumed value prior to adjusting.

Challenge 2 Hard

You have a complex pipeline system with multiple loops. How would you approach applying the Hardy Cross Method? Describe your strategy.

💡 Hint: Focus on understanding the relationships between various loops as well as their impact on flow.
