4. Two elevated tanks supply water to a demand node with a valve at its outlet (Figure 4). The elevated tanks are cylindrical and have diameters of 5m. The initial water level in Tank 1 is 96m and the initial water level in Tank 2 is 89m. The valve is half open and has a discharge coefficient of 0.15m52s. The initial steady-state flow through the valve is 350Ls. The valve discharges to the atmosphere. Both pipes have a Hazen-Williams 'C' factor of 100, an internal diameter of 250mm, and a length of 300m. Assuming quasi-steady conditions in the system, determine the pressure head at the demand node and the flow in the pipes in the first three time steps of the simulation. Use a time step of 15 seconds to carry out the quasi-steady state simulation.
