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 m AHD
Point B: Elevation N m AHD
Point C: Elevation N m AHD
Point D: Elevation N m AHD
Point E: Elevation N m AHD
Flow Rate Q:
Annual discharge: GLyear Lyear
Flow rate Q: Ls 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: 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: m
Frictional head loss: Calculated similarly.
Pump head: Selected to overcome the total head including elevation and friction
C to D:
Elevation head difference: m downhill
Turbine head loss: Calculated based on flow through the penstock.
D to E:
Elevation head difference: 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
