Question: 4 . 4 . 5 . The water distribution system for an industrial park is schematically depicted in Figure P 4 . 4 . 5

4.4.5. The water distribution system for an industrial park is schematically depicted in Figure P4.4.5.
Water enters the system at junction A from a storage tank (water surface elevation of 355.0m).
The demands on the system are currently at junctions D(0.550m3s) and E(0.450m3s). All
pipes are concrete (e=0.36mm) with lengths and diameters provided in the table below. In
addition, the elevations of the junctions are given in the table below. Calculate the flow rate in
each pipe (initial estimated flows are provided). Also determine if the pressure at each junction
exceeds 170kPa, a requirement of the water company by the industrial park. Assume complete
turbulence for friction factors (f) and go through two solution (flow correction) iterations for
each loop.

4.4.6. Solve Problem 4.4.5 using the Hazen-Williams equation instead of the Darcy-Weisbach for fric-
tion losses. Let CHW=120 for the concrete pipes.
Just do 4.4.6 completely and thoroughly please.
