Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Solve a given pipe network using the Hardy Cross Method where the inflow is 100 L/s, and discharges exiting are 30 L/s, 40 L/s, and 30 L/s. Calculate corrections applied to reach equilibrium.
💡 Hint: Focus on each iteration's calculations and how flows adjust accordingly.
Determine the feasibility of a pipe configuration where inflows at three branches are not equal to outflows. Explain how to analyze this network.
💡 Hint: Check the inflow and outflow at all junctions to identify discrepancies.
