Question

The hardy cross method requires some parameters (i.e number of iterations to use)

ok ,, what you need to know is ... f=0.01844 ... due to the same diameter for all pipes then f is the same no need to use moody's diagram.. about the number of iteration : what i'm looking for is for the delta Q to equal zero or some number around the zero like 0.001 .. here we have four loops we have to get the corrected Q for each of the four loops and do them one more time

just to make sure that we have an acceptable small value of delta Q

the answer is preferably tabulated !
