using the table below we can calculate the distributed head loss in the pipes:

Δ H 5 =R5∗A dJ2 =0.821 m.

now we can calculate the hydraulic head in the junction 4:

H 4 =H 5 + Δ H 5 =228.821m .

then we calculate the pressure in the junction 4:

=H 4 −z 4=228.821−140=88.821 m .

now we can calculate the AD4:

q 4=0.08∗( 88.821 ) =l/s

Ad J =( B . D )4 + q4 =4 +11.12=15.12l/ s

  To calculate the pressure in junction J3, we should now the distributed head losses in the pipe 2,
that’s why we calculate Ad J , knowing that Q P 2=A d J + A dJ +Q 6

Q2=15.12+ 9.374+6=30.504 l/ s

Δ H 2=R2∗Q P 2=3.476 m
now we can calculate the hydraulic head in the junction J3 then the pressure P3:

H 3=H 4 + Δ H 2=228.821+ 3.476=232.297 m

now we have to calculate the pressure in the junction 1:

So the Pressure head reduction that must be imposed by the pressure reducing valve (PRV) to

( Pγ )−( Pγ )
maintain in junction J5 a pressure equal to 38 m, is given by the formula: Δ P valve =

Δ P valve =277.512−92.297=185.215 m.
