Question: Elevation Head ( Z ) Calculation: Point A: Elevation = 1 8 0 m AHD Point B: Elevation = 1 8 0 + N =

Elevation Head (Z) Calculation:
Point A: Elevation =180 m AHD
Point B: Elevation =180+ N =180+17.75=197.75 m AHD
Point C: Elevation =180+7N =180+7(17.75)=304.25 m AHD
Point D: Elevation =180+3N =180+3(17.75)=233.25 m AHD
Point E: Elevation =180+ N =180+17.75=197.75 m AHD
Flow Rate (Q):
Annual discharge: 3.25 GL/year =3,250,000,000 L/year
Flow rate (Q): 101.47 L/s Given the elevation data and the required head for pumping, plot the EGL and HGL from points A to E.
Points and Corresponding Heads:
A to B:
Elevation head difference: 17.75 m
Frictional head loss: Calculated based on pipe length and diameter.
Pump head: Selected based on required flow rate and head.
B to C:
Elevation head difference: 106.5 m
Frictional head loss: Calculated similarly.
Pump head: Selected to overcome the total head (including elevation and friction).
C to D:
Elevation head difference: -71 m (downhill)
Turbine head loss: Calculated based on flow through the penstock.
D to E:
Elevation head difference: -35.5 m
Frictional head loss: Calculated for the existing and new parallel pipeline.
Plotting:
The plot should show the elevation of each point (Z), the HGL (which will be slightly below the EGL due to velocity head losses), and the EGL (including all head components).
Points where pumps are located will show a significant jump in the EGL, reflecting the added pump head.
Points of downhill flow (C to D, D to E) will show a decline in the EGL.SUGARLOAF PIPELINE PROJECT CORRIDOR
