hydro prob 2 This is the 2nd spreadsheet i created late last night the new iterations are on "sheet 2"

Dear StreamKing, I took a photo of the page out of the textbook we use it shows the formula's and how they are to be applied based on what units you are given in the problem statement. In some previous problems we were given the C value. Then we have to use the Hazen- Williams formula. in this...

spreadsheet from tynea hydrology prob

SteamKing, It was converging to the 5th iteration then it started increasing again. do you think I should rethink my initial flow pattern. the summation started at 43, 24, 9.7, 3.99, 3.36, then it started back up again at 4.41, 5.87and now at 7.47... what the #$%&! You seem like the...

Dear SteamKing, I am going to proceed as you suggest. However, I would be grateful if someone could give me an analogy or an explanation as to how it is possible to solve an un-buildable network? If the Hardy -Cross method can solve this than doesn't that then reflect poorly on the method...

Ok SteamKing, here is my excel spreadsheet and my reworked diagram with the -pipe area in blue, -distance in green, -Friction factor in red, -loop and direction of positive in purple -and the rectangular boxes in pencil contain my first assumptions of the flow. Believe me I do...

Dear peterpiper, I know I sound bitter, but I've had this prof for three classes now and know his style. He often answers question with a simple, "I don't know," and moves on. He also routinely teaches for 2 hr in what is supposed to be a 3 hour class. I'm also not a 19 yr. old, I'm 46 and went...

well, if you notice the diagonals are 2000' and the top run is 6000' thus it is impossible for those two pipes to be connected to each other at a single juncture. So if the diagram is physically impossible than how can any method solve this problem? I don't like wasting my time on an unsolvable...

Homework Statement A professor gave a pipe network problem to be solved by the Hardy-Cross method. However when I attempted to create a scale drawing of the figure to get a better idea of the problem I realized it is physically impossible to create his design. Now i am wondering if because...

Thank you Berkeman, I'll start a new thread calling it fluid dynamics 2 and I will post the pic of the assignment i thought i had added the pic to my current post but I must be mistaken. sorry i am not very computer savvy. Tynea
