Question: 4 . Two elevated tanks supply water to a demand node with a valve at its outlet ( Figure 2 ) . The elevated tanks

4. Two elevated tanks supply water to a demand node with a valve at its outlet (Figure 2). The elevated tanks are cylindrical and have diameters of 5 m . The initial water level in Tank 1 is 96 m and the initial water level in Tank 2 is 91 m . The valve is half open and has a discharge coefficient of \(0.15\mathrm{~m}^{5/2}/\mathrm{s}\). The initial steady-state flow through the valve is \(350\mathrm{~L}/\mathrm{s}\). The valve discharges to the atmosphere. Both pipes have a Hazen-Williams '\( C \)' factor of 100, an internal diameter of 300 mm , and a length of 350 m . 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.
