Hardy Cross Example

This document contains the results of multiple iterations of a Hardy Cross analysis of a pipe network. The pipe network consists of 7 pipes of varying diameters and lengths, connected in a loop. The analysis calculates the flow rate and pressure drop in each pipe over 5 iterations, until the flow rates converge to within a specified tolerance. It checks the continuity of flow at each junction to ensure conservation of mass. The final flow rates and pressure drops indicate the analysis has converged on a steady state solution for the pipe network flow.
