Hardy-Cross Method Problem: Physically Impossible Design?

AI Thread Summary
A user encountered a pipe network problem assigned by a professor, which they believe is physically impossible to construct. They are questioning whether this design flaw renders the problem unsolvable and are considering sharing a picture of the problem statement for clarity. The user is new to the forum and seeks guidance on how to proceed. A forum member suggested starting a new thread to include the necessary diagram. The discussion highlights the challenges faced in applying the Hardy-Cross method to potentially flawed designs.

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 of this if the problem is unsolvable? If anyone interested needs to see the network with dimensions I could take a pic of the problem statement and post it if that would be the easiest way. I am completely new to this site and this is my second post. Thank you any and all for any guidance. Tynea

Welcome to the PF.

Your first post was deleted as being mostly empty. Did you mean to attach the diagram to this thread?
 
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.
