Part A: Design pipeline system for a problematic topography
A small city with current permanent population of 20,000? is supplied from source, S, with an
transfers water to tank T that has a maximum elevation of +110m. The longitudinal profile of
the ground is shown in the following figure. As you can tell, there is a high elevation of +165m,
located at 2,400m from the source (point A). Answer the following questions in the given
order.
(2 pts) Based just on the morphology of the terrain (i.e., not accounting the hydraulics), do you have gravity or pumping driven network? Why?
(3 pts) Based only on the elevations of the source and tank T, what is the carrying capacity (i.e., flow rate) of the pipeline that connects the source with the tank T? Give your answer
either in m3s or cfs.
(5 pts) Find the available pressure head (i.e., term P) in the pipe at location A, where you
have a high elevation point. Give your answer in meters.
(5 pts) Based on your findings in question (3), prove that the water supply system will not work. Assume that the energy grade line can be located up to 7.0m below the ground
surface elevation of point A.
(5 pts) Determine the actual maximum daily flow rate that the pipeline can carry
considering the hydraulic requirement of the 7.0m for the energy grade line specified in
question (4). Hint: Show on the sketch the "updated" energy grade line.
