PIPE NETWORK ANALYSIS: HARDY CROSS METHOD

PIPE NETWORK DIAGRAM: (Guessed Q Values)

Pipe Network Analysis: Hardy Cross Method

Formulas used for Computing the Q values:

Head Loss:
h L =r Qn

R:
R=nr Q n−1

Correction per loop:

−Σ h L
∆ Q loop =
ΣR

Adjustment for Q values:

Qadj =Q initial + ∆ Qloop

In case of shared loop,

Q adj =Q initial + ∆ Q loop−Q shared loop
