CE3620 Lec9 Pipe Networks

The Hardy Cross method was used to determine the flow rates and pressures at each junction node in a pipe network system. It required 16 iterations to converge on the final solution. The flow rate and headloss is provided for each pipe. The pressure at each node is calculated based on the elevation and headloss in the connecting pipe.
