Question: Task: Determine the optimum ( best ) pipe and tank combination ( Figure 1 ) to supply drinking water to a community. The optimum combination

Task:
Determine the optimum (best) pipe and tank combination (Figure 1) to supply drinking water to a community. The optimum combination is the lowest combined pipe and storage cost that does not violate anv rnnetrainte
a) Project Part A:
[Total =5 marks]
Submit the algorithm (hand-sketched or computer generated) for Project Part B on one A4 or A3 page.
On the page, provide a legend where each variable in the algorithm is described.
b) Project Part B:
[Total=15 marks]
Submit one (1) Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook that contains the provided Data worksheet with the given input data. Do not rearrange the data.
Place one Optimise button on the Data worksheet. This button is to call the VBA code that will:
i. Create the worksheet named Balancing storage calculations and compute Pipe supply, Q(m3s) for each Diameter (D) and Tank volume (m3) at each hour. The below steps/formulae are to be employed:
To calculate Pipe supply, Q(m3s) :
Step 1: Assume Velocity, v1(ms)=1 and Velocity, v2(ms)=1
Step 2: Calculate Reynolds Number, Re=v1*D/
Step 3: Calculate pipe headloss coefficient Lambda, using the
Swamee-Jain formula =(1(-2*log10(5.74Re0.9+K3.7*D)))2
Step 4: Calculate new Velocity, v2=2*g*D*hfmax*l2
Step 5:
Ifv1v2, Then v1=v2; Repeat Steps 2to4
Ifv1=v2 Then Q=v2** Area of pipe, A(m2). End
To calculate Tank volume (m3) :
Tank volume at T2= Tank volume at T1+ Pipe supply during T1- Volume
demanded during T1
ii. Create the worksheet named Optimization and compute the following for each
pipe Diameter (D) :
Pipe unit cost (Rand/m): - Transfer from the Data worksheet
Pipe diameter, D(m): -Transfer from the Data worksheet
Pipe supply, Q(m3s)- Transfer from the Balancing storage calculations worksheet
Pipe headloss, hf(m)=**l**v22**g**D
Pipe cost (Rand= Pipe length * Pipe unit cost (Rand/m)[1/2]
Balancing storage (m3)= absolute value of the Highest cumulative surplus+absolute value of the Highest cumulative deficit.
Extra storage (m3)= Emergency storage + Fire storage + Bottom storage.
Total storage (m3)= Balancing storage + Extra Storage.
Storage cost (Rand)= Total storage * Storage unit cost.
Total cost (Rand)= Storage cost + Pipe cost.
