Problem 1(30 points)
You are designing a water storage system for the town of Tolmin, Slovenla that comprises three reservoirs as shown in schematic bird's eve vew below. The water elevations of the three reservoirs are as follows: z(R1)=250m,z(R2)=230m, and z(R3) elerations The elevation of node 15, where the 3 pipes converge is 2(15)=200m.
Node 15 is supposed to store/pass enough water to provide for the water demands of the town network; this network will be analyzed in Problem 2. The flowrate that needs to be available at node 15 is 120Vs. This means that at J5,Q=120Vs.
Ignore minor losses and do not update friction factors after each iteration.
The characteristics of the three plpes are in the table below:
\table[[The characteristics of the three ploses.are,R1.J5,R2.15,R3-15],[Diameter (mm),350,200,200],[Length (m),500,900,1675],[Rouphess,c(mm),1,1,1]]
a) Perform a maximum of 3 iterations and calculate the flowrates going through this system and the head at node 15. You will need this head for Problem 2.
b) Perform all appropriate calculat
Problem 2(40 points)
The pipe network for water distribution in the town of Tolmin, shown in schema below, consists of 6 pipes P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 and requires a total flowrate of 120 The lengths of the pipes are L1=970m,L2=600m,L3=820m,L4=450m,L5=640 and L6=470m. The roughness coefficient is =1mm and the diameter D=150mm all pipes. The elevation of the 5 nodes are z(J1)=205m,z(J2)=180m, and z(J3)=190z(J4)=200m, and z(J5)=200m. The nodal demands are 20Is for each of J1,J2,J3, J4. The nodal demand for J5 is 40Is. The total demand for the network is 120Is an provided through node J5 as described in Problem 1.
a) Select initial guesses for the 6 pipe flowrates keeping in mind that continuity mus satisfied. b) Using all pertinent information calculate the friction factors and resistance coefficients (do not update these numbers after each iteration). c) Using the Hardy-Cross method calculate manually the flowrate in each of the 6 pipes. Water is flowing ir pipes. Perform only 2 iterations for each loop. d) Node J5 has hydraulic head calculated in Problem 1. If for some reason you did not complete Problem 1 assum head of 245 m. Calculate the pressure at node J1 in Pa. Ignore minor losses.ions manually and draw the HGL and EGL curves for pipe R1-I5.
