Problem 7
Use the pipe sizes given the table below for the subdivision in Problem 6.
Junction and Pipe Information:
\table[[Pipe Information for Problem 7],[Pipe Label,Dlameter (mm)],[P-1,200],[P-2,150],[P-3,150],[P-4,150],[P-5,150],[P-6,150],[P-7,150],[P-8,150],[P-9,150]]
City ordinances require the following:
The pressure at the fire fow discharge and at other points in the distribution system cannot fall below ",12.5kPa during a fire flow of 34Ls.(Hint: The total flow at the fire flow node does not need to include the baseline demand).
Questions:
a) If a residential fire occurs at J-7, would the current system be able to meet the fire flow requirements set by the city?
b) If not, what can be done to increase the available flow to provide adequate fire flow to that hydrant?
