Take per capita demand of water as 112 lpcd. Assume peak factor = 3 and
hazen willian's constant C = 100. the residual head at any point in the
distribution system should not be less than 15 m. check velocity in the pipe
also.

Soln:
For Pipe RA:
Avg. quantity of flow = (4600 + 5400) x 112 = 1120000 liters.
Design discharge , Q = peak factor x avg. flow
= 3 x 1120000 = 0.0389 m3/s
maximum allowable head loss
= 940 – (890+15) = 35 m
Length, L = 250 m
Using Hazen William's head loss equation,
=
35 = , d = 0.122 m
adopt, commercial pipe size = 150 mm

•Velocity,
V = = = 2.2 m/s
(Range: 0.3 – 3 m/s ) OK
Actual head loss in pipe, RA
= = = 13.29 m
