    A water distribution network is given with pipes connecting points A, B, C and D. Water is pumped into the network at point A at a rate of 60 l/s. It is withdrawn at points C and D at rates of 20 l/s and 40 l/s, respectively. The problem is to calculate the flow rate in each pipe by applying the continuity equation at nodes and using an iterative process to solve the system of equations. The calculations are shown across multiple iterations until the flow rates converge to a solution.

    A water distribution system has been skeletonized and reduced to the two-loop network
    below. A flow rate of 60 l/s is pumped into the network at point A, and two major water
    withdrawal points, C and D, discharge 20 l/s and 40 l/s, respectively. Determine the flow rate
    in all the pipes of the network.
