Question: Figure 6 : a ) Fire hydrant with a cap gauge b ) Illustration of water flow in a pipe to the hydrant i .
Figure : a Fire hydrant with a cap gauge
b Illustration of water flow in a pipe to the hydrant
i In one observation, a cap gauge connected to the hydrant in front of the BIUST Administration block gave a reading of kPa, the temperature of the water was whilst the barometer reading at the weather station behind the block was kPa. Compute how much was the hydraulic head for that hydrant?
ii Calculate the water pressure at node Figure b causing such a hydraulic head
iii. If the water temperature could drop to in winter, perform a calculation to check if the cap gauge would give a different reading from that obtained in a above?
