Question: For the shown network below in Figure 1 , a ) Estimate the flow in pipe 1 ; b ) Using the mass conservations at

For the shown network below in Figure 1,
a) Estimate the flow in pipe 1;
b) Using the mass conservations at nodes, identify the initial guess of the flow in all pipes (use the
initial guess of flow Q0 in pipes 4&6 equal zero);
c) Carry out one full iteration to solve the flow in all the pipes of the network using HCM
approach;
d) Estimate the pressure head at junction D based on the results obtained above in item (c).
Demand =100ls :
G.L.=30m
Demand =200v
G.L=31m
G.L=31.5m
Figure 1. Pipe Network Layout. (Drawing is Not to Scale)
Knowing that:
All pipes are similar in length, diameter and friction coefficient.
Use f=0.02;L=500m,D=500mm.
Assume centerline of pipe below ground surface by 2 m .
For the shown network below in Figure 1 , a )
