This lecture covers the evaluation of singular pressure drops in pipes under load, the behavior of singularities, and the laws governing load losses. It also delves into the law of nodes and meshes in hydraulic networks, emphasizing the continuity equation and the distribution of flow rates. The Hardy-Cross iteration method for resolving mesh networks is explained, along with the determination of corrective terms to achieve a satisfactory solution. Practical examples and calculations are provided to illustrate the application of these concepts in real-world hydraulic systems.
