Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A water distribution system has two parallel pipes, one 1,000m long with a diameter of 15cm and the other 800m long and 20cm in diameter. Given a total discharge of 50 liters/second, calculate the discharge in each pipe using the Hardy Cross Method.

💡 Hint: Remember to account for each pipe's area and the continuity condition.

Question 2

In a closed loop system, if pipe A has a total head loss of 5m and pipe B has 3m, how would you assess the flow rates if they are connected at a junction?

💡 Hint: Focus on achieving balance at the junction; adjust flows based on the head loss.
