Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a simple water distribution network with three nodes and two pipes. The inflow at Node A is 100 L/min, and the outflows are 60 L/min at Node B and 40 L/min at Node C. Formulate the equations representing this system.
💡 Hint: Use flow conservation principles.
Given that a network is experiencing a leak resulting in an unexpected drop in total outflow, how would you implement the Hardy Cross method to adapt the flow rates?
💡 Hint: Think about balancing excess flow.
