Question: Using the given source and demands, shown in Fig. Q 5 , analyse the pipe network. Pipe resistance values ( R ) , as shown

Using the given source and demands, shown in Fig. Q5, analyse the pipe network.
Pipe resistance values (R), as shown in Fig. Q5, were calculated assuming that \lambda
values are the same for all pipes.
(a) Using Hardy-Cross head balance method, calculate the flow in each pipe at
the end of two trials (two flow corrections) for an inflow of 5 L/s at the junction
A and outflows of 2 L/s and 3 L/s at junctions D and C respectively.
(b) Calculate the pressure at the demand nodes if the pressure at the source is
100 m.
(c) What will be the effect of closure pipe AB (due to repair) on the pressure
distribution of the downstream nodes?
Using the given source and demands, shown in Fig.
