ASSIGNMENT 1 DUE: 20/12/2018

A water supply distribution system for an industrial park is schematically shown in the figure
below. The demands on the system are currently at junctions B, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N,
O and P with flow rates given in liters per second. Water enters the system at junctions A
and C from storage towers. The water surface elevation in the tower supplying junction A is
70 m above the ground surface in the industrial park. All pipes are cast iron with lengths and
diameters provided in the table below.

Assuming a Hazen - Williams coefficient, CH = 120, find the flow in each pipe and pressure
heads at each junction. Use excel.

Perform a network analysis for the system using Epanet. Compare your answers with those
from manual calculation using the Hardy-Cross method. Are there any discrepancies?
Comment on these if there are any.

What would happen to the pressure at point F if the demand for water at that point
doubled? Estimate the magnitude of this change.
