3. The 5-pipe water distribution network shown in Figure 3 has a fixed-head reservoir (R1) with water level of 70m. The pipe (P1) that connects the fixedhead reservoir to the rest of the network is 100m in length, and has an inner diameter of 610mm and a 'C' factor of 140. Pipes 2 to 5 have the following parameters: length =500m, Hazen-Williams 'C' factor =130, and inner diameter =203mm. Node 1 is at elevation 5m, Node 2 at elevation 10m, Node 3 at elevation 25m and Node 4 at elevation 15m. Demand at Node' 1 is Q1=50Ls, demand at Node 2 is Q2=23Ls, demand at Node 3 is Q3=18Ls, and demand at Node 4 is Q4=17Ls.
a) Calculate the flows in the 5 pipes.
b) Calculate the pressure head at all nodes.
